Golf
Golf in Chile began in the second half of the 19th century, when a group of Englishmen living in the country founded the Playa Ancha Golf Club in Valparaíso and later the Granadillas Golf Club in Viña del Mar. Different clubs multiplied rapidly all over the country, from the elegant Club Los Leones and the Prince of Wales Country Club, both in Santiago, to the Club de Golf de Magallanes in Punta Arenas, which is the southernmost club in the world. There are currently 58 golf courses in Chile, all of them private.
But today and since 2005, we have the first public golf course in Santiago, called Mapocho Golf Club. It is a tournament course, very well located, only 5 minutes away from the International Airport of Santiago, very close to route 68 that goes to Valparaiso and 30 minutes away from the center of the capital.
