Goiânia Golfe Clube

Overview: Goiânia Golfe Clube is an 18-hole course on the GO-020 corridor in Goiânia, Goiás. The current club website lists 7,126 yards, four tees for different levels, wide fairways, large greens and deep bunkers. The routing’s most clearly identified feature is the 12th, a demanding par three with an island green. The club also presents a substantial practice and teaching offer, so the course serves both regular competitive golf and players developing their game.

History: The course is part of the Goiânia Golfe Clube development and is presented by the club as a Dan Blankenship design, described as his first project in Brazil’s Central-West region. The current official website documents the present 18-hole routing, golf school, tournaments and weekend golf, but its inauguration field is not populated. Earlier third-party references give inconsistent development dates, so no opening year is inserted until a reliable date for this exact routing is confirmed.

Did You Know? The club’s official website singles out the 12th as a par three with an island green and calls the back nine especially attractive and challenging. Its description of wide fairways, large greens and deep bunkers gives the course a distinctive design vocabulary, with generous landing space followed by more exacting work around the putting surfaces. It is an unusually clear expression of Dan Blankenship’s design presence in Brazil’s Central-West region.
