Clube de Golfe de Campinas

Overview: Clube de Golfe de Campinas is the active 18-hole course in Sumaré, in the Campinas area of São Paulo state. The São Paulo federation confirms the 18-hole identity and the club’s current rules identify the same Rua Manoel Messias da Silva address. Published course data gives par 72, 6,594 yards and credits Álvaro Soares Novaes. The course is compactly set in a park-like property, with broad fairways and smaller greens that make the approach game important. It is a practical regional course rather than a resort complex, and its competition calendar shows continuing club and federation use.

History: The club was founded in 1958 by foreign executives working for multinational companies in the region, according to the course history used by Brazilian golf sources. Its golf identity has endured as a local club with an active tournament programme: the official site marked the course’s 60th anniversary in 2018, and federation records continue to list it for state events. That evidence supports 1958 as the course’s documented opening-era date, while avoiding a stronger claim about a particular construction phase or redesign for which no reliable current record was found.

Did You Know? The club’s local rules call out the tenth hole’s island and bridge as distinctive course features, making it an easy routing detail to remember before a round. The São Paulo federation also lists a four-hole children’s course alongside the main layout. The club’s official results archive and federation records show that the course continues to host organised golf, linking its compact parkland setting to a sustained competition history.
