Buenos Aires Golf Club
Robert von Hagge built the Buenos Aires Golf Club at Bella Vista in 1994, a modern 27 hole layout whose Green and Yellow championship combination hosted the 2000 World Cup. That week Tiger Woods and David Duval won for the United States, cementing the club's place among the best in South America.

The verdict
The Buenos Aires Golf Club, opened in 1994 to a Robert von Hagge design at Bella Vista in the western suburbs, is the most modern of the capital's great courses and the one with the loudest international moment. Its championship layout, the Green and Yellow nines, hosted the World Cup in 2000, when Tiger Woods and David Duval combined to win for the United States ahead of the home pair of Angel Cabrera and Andres Romero.
Von Hagge brought his trademark style to the Argentine plains, building bold greens with large breaks and weaving sprawling water hazards through a course that looks and plays differently from the classical layouts nearby. The result is a stern, well conditioned test that put Buenos Aires on the world golf map. The club is private, so access is by arrangement, but it belongs on any ambitious Buenos Aires golf tour.

The holes worth the trip
The championship course at Buenos Aires Golf Club is a von Hagge creation through and through, with large, boldly contoured greens, generous but defended fairways and water that comes into play across the round. Where the classical Buenos Aires courses ask subtle questions, this one is more overt, a modern championship test built to challenge the world's best.
The Green and Yellow nines form the tournament eighteen, and it was here that the 2000 World Cup unfolded, a stage big enough for Woods and Duval to shine and for the home crowd to cheer Cabrera and Romero. The third nine adds flexibility and keeps the members' golf fresh week to week.
Length, water and the big greens make this a course that rewards the complete game, the player who can drive it into position, control the long approach and read the sweeping breaks on the greens. For the travelling golfer it offers a different flavour from the MacKenzie era classics, a chance to walk a recent World Cup venue in fine condition.
