Description
Established in 1900 and known as “The Cathedral”, the Playa Grande Course is located in the most expensive lot of land in the city, housed in a side of a hill in front of Mar del Plata Port. It is a short course but quite challenging if the wind is blowing; this course is a true “golf jewel”. Maybe, its main peculiarity is that, no matter the line you take, your putter will always fall towards the sea. Its grand Tudor-style clubhouse offers great facilities. Hard to find a flat lie on the course, with big elevations and drops, where you need a sharp iron shots, to then face hard and fast greens.
Signature Hole
The 8th hole, a par 3 of 126 yards, is probably the best short/tough par 3 in the world that can even require a 5 iron when the wind is blowing into you. The green is "small as a coin", and rolls fast towards the sea. With bunkers on the left hand side and a drop of around 60 feet to the right, missing the green almost guarantees a bogey (or worse).
Wegolf Insider Tip
