About this course

Club de Campo Los Pinguinos sits in Ituzaingó, in the western suburbs of Buenos Aires, as a private country club serving the region's established families. The course was designed by Ángel Reartes, a significant figure in Argentine golf architecture who shaped many of the nation's most respected layouts during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Reartes brought a thoughtful approach to routing and green design that reflected both international influences and sensitivity to local terrain and climate. The course occupies rolling pampas-influenced land typical of the Buenos Aires province, where subtle elevation changes and native vegetation create a landscape quite different from the flat, featureless terrain many associate with Argentina's interior. Reartes worked within these natural contours to establish a routing that flows logically across the property, with greens positioned to reward accuracy and course management rather than length alone. The design reflects the classical principles that defined Argentine golf architecture in that era—strategic bunkering, firm turf conditions, and an emphasis on shot-making over power. Los Pinguinos has maintained its standing as a private members' club with a strong local following and a culture rooted in the social and sporting traditions of Buenos Aires golf. The club remains relatively unknown internationally, typical of many Argentine courses that serve their communities with consistency and quality without seeking wider recognition. The course continues to host regional competitions and club events that draw players from across the Buenos Aires golf community.

Getting there

Club de Campo Los Pinguinos is most readily accessed via Ministro Pistarini International Airport (also known as Ezeiza International, EZE), located approximately 35 kilometers southwest of Buenos Aires, followed by a 45-minute drive northwest through the sprawling suburbs and into the quieter, more rural reaches of Ituzaingo. For those arriving by private aviation, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), situated closer to the city center, offers a more intimate alternative, though the club's own airstrip accommodates select private operations. The final leg of the journey transitions from the urban periphery into the open pampas landscape, where the club's manicured grounds and distinctive architecture emerge as a sanctuary of refined leisure on the Argentine countryside. Club de Campo Los Pinguinos welcomes guests with the understated elegance characteristic of Buenos Aires' most established sporting institutions - a destination where European tradition meets the boundless horizons of the South American interior.
