The crater-shaped Lake Ilopango provides a lovely backdrop to the tropical golf course at Club Salvadoreno in Corinto, which is carved through dense jungle, providing a remarkably entertaining and challenging round of golf.
The crater-shaped Lake Ilopango provides a lovely backdrop to the tropical golf course at Club Salvadoreno in Corinto, which is carved through dense jungle, providing a remarkably entertaining and challenging round of golf.
Formed in 1954, Club Salvadoreño developed over the next half century into one of San Salvador’s leading social institutions, offering members a variety of sporting activities (including tennis, golf and a range of different water sports) at its Corinto campus.
Designed by Fred W. Hawtree, the course is a lush parkland track that spreads out over a fairly flat landscape with tree-lined fairways set out close to the sparkling waters of Lake Llopango.
Visiting golfers should note that the use of caddies is mandatory when playing this course but a sizeable creek runs through the property and, as some of the holes have been routed across this natural hazard, it’s actually a very good idea to have some local knowledge on hand when playing here.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
