Costa Esmeralda Golf Club (Cancha Nueva)

Pinamar sits about 340 kilometers southeast of Buenos Aires on the Atlantic coast, a resort town carved out of coastal dunes and pine forests in the mid-20th century. The landscape here is distinctive — planted maritime pines and acacias anchored shifting sand dunes that would otherwise have been inhospitable to development, and that forested, sandy terrain defines the golfing environment. The coastal air, the sound of the sea nearby, and the light through the pines give this stretch of the Buenos Aires province a character unlike the open pampas that dominate most of Argentine golf.
