The Olympic Golf course is a new venue built for men's and women's individual golf events of the 2016 Summer Games, in which golf has returned for the first time as an Olympic sport after 112 years. Hanse Golf Course Design was chosen from eight contenders to build the course. The new golf facility is located at the Reserva de Marapendi in Barra da Tijuca - Rio de Janeiro. Since [the 2016 Games] marks the return of golf to the Olympics after more than a century of absence, this course represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the sport.
The Italhangá Golf Club was founded in the 1930s and is the only 27-hole club in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The club has always played an important role for golf in Brazil, as it has hosted some of the major golf competitions, including the Brazil Open and the LPGA Tour. Itanhangá is also famous for its golf school, which is active in promoting junior golf. The club has an 18-hole championship course and an additional 9-hole course. From the route, you can enjoy a privileged view of Pedra da Gávea and the Tijuca forest, two of the most beautiful postcard views of Rio de Janeiro. Surrounded by hills, the path gives you the unique feeling of playing in a huge valley. Golfers say that when they pass through the gate of Itanhanga Golf Club, it is like moving from the big city to a peaceful village less than 10 meters on foot. Itanhangá golf club is a relatively flat golf course with a large variety of beautiful old trees.
The Gávea Golf & Country Club in the south of the city of Rio de Janeiro is considered one of the most prestigious golf clubs in Brazil and dates back to 1921, where the course layout was designed by Arthur Morgan Davidson. The route is located between Pedra da Gávea, a huge rocky rock that looms over the course, the Tijuca forest and the São Conrado beach. The beauty of Rio de Janeiro, with its hills, the sea and the incredible vegetation, makes the Gávea Golf & Country Club a truly unique course, which gives you the feeling of playing in a magical tropical valley. You have to be fit to face its hilly fairways - especially those on the front nine. However, the reward is useful: an unforgettable view of the field and the sea. With just under 6,000 yards from the back tees, it's a short path, but the distance from the tee to the green isn't important for this little strategic charmer.
