The Olympic Golf Course is a new venue built for the men's and women's individual golf events at the 2016 Summer Games, where golf returned for the first time as an Olympic sport after 112 years. Hanse Golf Course Design was chosen from eight competitors to build the course.
The 18-hole Olympic course gives off a links-like feel, comparable to the Australian sand-belt course, and blends naturally with the native vegetation. There is plenty of wildlife present on the course, including capybaras (large rodents), caimans (small crocodiles) and corujas (burrowing owls). The experience of playing this already legendary course will remain in your memory forever!

Brazil, a vast country in South America, stretches from the Amazon basin in the north to vineyards and the Iguaçu Falls in the south. The city of Rio de Janeiro, characterized by its 38-meter-high Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado, is renowned for its busy beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, as well as its huge, lively carnival, with parades of floats, flamboyant costumes, and samba music and dance ― Google

Brazil, golf in Olympic form
It is in Brazil, where soccer is king and forests are queens of nature, that golf became Olympic again in 2016. This was an opportunity to revamp some of the 75 Brazilian courses and also to build new layouts, such as the Olympic golf course in Rio, a Gil Hanse design. It was on this superb course, in 2016, that the Olympic competition took place, which saw Justin Rose win the gold medal, ahead of Henrik Stenson and Matt Kuchar.
