Description
The Jockey Club was founded in 1882 by one of the first Presidents of our country, Carlos Pellegrini. Since then, every President of the Republic becomes a member the day he takes power. This is the most traditional golf club in Argentina. It has 36 holes designed by the renowned architect Allister Mackenzie. It has hosted the Argentine Open, the World Cup, the European Tour (among others) and was played by top golfers such as Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Gary Player and many others. In 2005 Golf Digest ranked its Red Course in their top 100.
Signature Hole
The 18th hole, a par 4 of 348 yards, was inspired in the 18th hole of the "Old Course Saint Andrews". Same length, straight and with no bunkers... It's all about the green. Both share the "valley of sin", the so called big fake front challenging the approach and putt atempts.
