About this course

Ranelagh Golf Club sits in the Buenos Aires suburb of Ranelagh, in the northern reaches of the greater metropolitan area. The course was designed by Alberto del Solar Dorrego, a prominent Argentine golf architect who shaped several notable layouts across South America in the mid-twentieth century. The club reflects the tradition of golf in Argentina, a country with a strong golfing heritage influenced by British settlers and a culture that embraced the sport early in the twentieth century. The course occupies land typical of the Buenos Aires region—relatively flat terrain with the subtle undulation and drainage patterns characteristic of the Pampas. Del Solar Dorrego's design works within these constraints, routing play across a landscape of native grasses and planted trees that frame the holes. The layout emphasizes strategic positioning and shot-making over dramatic elevation change, a sensible approach to the regional topography and consistent with Argentine golf design philosophy of the era. Ranelagh serves the local golfing community as a members' club with a stable membership base. The course has hosted regional and national amateur competitions over the decades, contributing to Argentine golf's competitive calendar. The club maintains the social and dining traditions typical of Argentine golf clubs, where the nineteenth hole and club facilities play an important role in member life beyond the course itself.

Getting there

Travelers bound for Ranelagh Golf Club typically arrive through Ministro Pistarini International Airport (also known as Ezeiza International, EZE), located roughly 35 kilometers southwest of Buenos Aires, followed by a 45-minute drive northeast into the leafy Ranelagh neighborhood - a verdant enclave that feels worlds apart from the urban sprawl despite its proximity to the capital. The route traces through the outer suburbs before transitioning into tree-lined avenues that signal entry into one of Buenos Aires' most exclusive residential quarters, where manicured estates and estancia-style architecture announce the club's rarefied sphere. For those arriving by private jet, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), situated on the northern edge of the city proper, offers a more intimate gateway just 20 minutes from the club grounds. The final passage unfolds along quiet, well-appointed streets that culminate at Ranelagh Golf Club itself - an understated sanctuary where Argentine tradition and cosmopolitan refinement converge on immaculate fairways.
