Caxangá Golf and Country Club

Overview: Caxangá Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole course on Avenida Caxangá in Recife, Pernambuco. The current club describes a 64-hectare property with roughly 25,000 trees, a driving range and a golf course woven into a much broader country-club setting. The available course record gives par 72, while a dependable current full-course yardage was not found. The scale of the grounds and the mature vegetation make this an unusually green golf setting inside a major northeastern Brazilian city.

History: The club’s current internal regulations record its foundation on 11 October 1928, and a 2025 Brazilian Golf Confederation activity report confirms that the organisation remains active and continues to stage its own open championship. The public record is clearer on the club’s longevity than on the construction phases of the present 18-hole routing. For that reason, 1928 is treated as the club foundation date, while no separate course-opening year or architect is inferred.

Did You Know? Caxangá describes itself as the only club in Pernambuco with an official golf course. Its 64 hectares and 25,000 planted trees give the course a strong ecological and landscape identity, especially unusual for a facility located on one of Recife’s main avenues. The club also combines golf with equestrian sport, tennis, swimming and other activities, which helps explain its role as a full country club rather than a stand-alone golf venue.
