About Fray Bentos Golf Club

Fray Bentos Golf Club is a historic nine-hole course in Barrio Anglo, Fray Bentos. The Asociación Uruguaya de Golf lists the course as par 71 for a full round and describes an undulating layout with broad fairways framed by mature native and planted trees. Historical sources date the course to 1928 and credit its design to Alister MacKenzie.

The club is closely connected with the industrial and British-influenced history of Barrio Anglo. Its current facilities include the golf course, clubhouse and restaurant, and the club continues to hold tournaments and operate golf programmes. The sixth is specifically documented by the national association as a 556-yard par five, crossed by a stream roughly 150 yards short of the green.

The course is a 9-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Alister MacKenzie, the course originally opened in 1928. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Restaurant, Golf School.

Development

The club and its golf course survived the major economic and industrial changes affecting Barrio Anglo and remain active within the historic district.

Today

Fray Bentos Golf Club maintains a nine-hole course, clubhouse, restaurant and golf activities and remains affiliated with the Asociación Uruguaya de Golf.
