PLAYING GOLF IN IGUAZU FALLS: THE IGUASSU GOLF CLUB
The Iguassu Golf Club is located in an irresistible spot, nestled between the natural beauty of Iguazu National Park and the nearby casinos of Argentina. It’s a fantastic option if you want to play golf during your trip, offering recreational, tourism, and business facilities. Situated on the Brazilian side, in an area famous for its triple border between Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, the golf course is part of the Wish Resort club, just 8km from the Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side.
PLAYING GOLF IN IGUAZU FALLS: the creator
The project’s lead architect is the North American architect Erik Larsen, one of the most prominent names in the world in this field, after almost 30 years of working at the Arnold Palmer Design Company.” Mr Arsen prepared a route with:
7096 yards from the black tee
6725 yards from the blue tee
6025 yards from the white tee
5287 yards from the red tee
The fairways are very wide, with bunkers strategically placed to make the golfer think twice before taking the tee shot on several holes. The greens are small and require precision in approach shots.
PLAYING GOLF IN IGUAZU FALLS: THE COURSE
The name Iguassu Falls Golf Club pays homage to the Falls. The 18-hole par 72 course was built with the aim of becoming a benchmark in Latin America. The entire course features Bermuda grass and Tifdwarf greens, which are fairly fast and homogeneous. While the fairways are generally wide, strategically placed bunkers make golfers think twice before taking a shot on several holes. The greens are small, increasing the need for precision in approach shots and helping to avoid the dreaded “three-putts,” which most golfers dislike.
