Brazil

Brazil is South America’s largest and most populous country and is the only Portuguese-speaking nation in the Americas. From a landscape perspective, Brazil has it all, tropical beaches, the Amazon River, rainforests and five different climates. Beautiful Brazil is a country of excitement from the sensual samba to football.

    Designed by American architect Dan Blankenship, a former associate of Pete and Perry Dye, the Terravista golf course opened in 2004.

    Through the use of time tested classic design principles, the Palmer golf course at Fazenda Boa Vista sits lightly on the land, blending seamlessly into the native tropical vegetation.

  8. São Fernando

    São Fernando Golf Club was formed in 1958 and members played on a 9-hole course before an additional nine holes were added in 1969.

  9. Alphaville Graciosa

    The Alphaville Graciosa Clube layout is yet another from a burgeoning Blankenship portfolio and its 18 holes are set within a residential estate that lies just outside the Paraná state capital of Curitiba.

  10. Itanhangá

    Itanhangá Golf Club sits in a beautiful valley where the tight, tree-lined fairways have been intuitively routed around ponds and streams to make maximum use of a relatively small tract of land.
