Several years in the making, the course at Santapazienza Golf Club was built on a property owned by a developer, who called in Tom Fazio and his son Logan to design their first South American layout within an enormous, densely forested estate.
According to Tom Fazio: “The land is spectacular, with water features, great trees and big elevation changes. We were given the freedom to explore ways to maximise the potential of the land and… I believe we have created a golf experience unlike any in the world.”
The Fazios certainly pulled out all the stops to make this layout as visually pleasing as possible. For instance, standing on the 217-yard 12th tee, your eye is drawn to the stream that spills over little waterfalls to the right of the putting surface, before it empties into the lake that fronts the green.
After putting out at the par four 16th, the cart path to the next tee heads straight towards a lake – which seems at first like a disaster waiting to happen – but a sturdy causeway continues just below the surface, giving other golfers the impression that you’re driving on water! This is just one of example of the extraordinary lengths the Fazios and the owner have taken to hide Santapazienza's cart paths.
