Description
GC Palermo is located in the middle of the Palermo Parks, heart of the city and surrounded by buildings. Famous architect Alister Mackenzie designed this course in 1932 for the Golf Club Argentino, but the lands were expropriated by Peron’s government in the 50s so the club moved its course to the current location. Some years later it was re-opened as a public course but its not in good conditions. With the proper maintenance this would definitely be one of the top Buenos Aires courses.
Signature Hole
Hole 6 / Par 5 / 525 yds. This is a not so hard par 5 for playing a lay-up. Is a soft dogleg to the left, with "out of bounds" all along the right side. An excelent risk/reward hole; getting the green in two is REALLY DIFICULT! on the last 130 yards the fairway stars getting thiner and thiner, with a short cross bunker on the right side and a green bunker on the left protects a two level big putting platform.
