San Eliseo

The Argentine golfing maestro Roberto De Vicenzo was involved in the course design here at San Eliseo Golf & Country Club. Measuring 7,051 yards from the tips, it’s a challenging layout built to USGA specifications.

Located sixty kilometres south of Buenos Aires city centre, the 18-hole layout at San Eliseo is routed around a substantial housing development where the golf facilities are complemented by a sports complex offering tennis courts, swimming pool, gymnasium and an indoor sports hall.

The course is set out as two returning nines – each of which concludes with a par five – and water comes into play at more than half the holes as fairways weave around small man-made bodies of water that were excavated during construction to provide spoil for shaping.

Highlight holes include the tough par four 3rd (which wraps around a large pond to the right of the fairway); the par three 8th (with an offset green protected by both sand and water); and the par three 17th, where the tee shot is played to a peninsula green.
