Uruguay
The Randy Thompson and Kelly Moran-designed golf course at Carmelo rocketed to the Uruguayan No.1 position soon after it opened in 2000 but Club de Golf del Uruguay is considered by many to be the country’s premier course. According to the Asociación Uruguaya de Golf there are currently 11 golf clubs affiliated to the union. In 2012, the Arnold Palmer Design Company installed nine holes at the Fasano Las Piedras in Punta del Este before returning in 2020 to construct another nine to tie into a newly completed hotel .
