Argentino Golf Club

The original Argentino Golf Club was designed in 1905 with Alister MacKenzie and Luther Koontz making renovations in the early 1930s before the club would eventually change locations in 1949. Koontz oversaw the creation of the course's permanent location in the Del Viso neighborhood in 1952 and since then Emillio Serra as well as Diego Caprile and Marcos Capdepont have been commissioned to remodel greens between the mid-1980s and 1990s. Argentino Golf Club is challenging with well-manicured greens and fairways—and the greens are known to be small, hard and fast. The course is also known for its challenging parkland-style layout featuring fairways protected by outstretched tree-limbs as well as small fast greens with challenging contours. The highlight of the front nine is the short par-4 fifth which requires a precise tee shot and approach to an undulating green protected on all sides by bunkers. The back nine is known for the difficult three-hole closing stretch highlighted by the long par-4 16th with a tight fairway and green protected by a water hazard.
