Damha Golf Club

The Damha Golf Club is in the southeast of Brazil near São Carlos in the state of São Paulo. It is on the premises of the Fazenda de Urso in the Parque Eco-Esportivo Damha. From the center of São Carlos, the Damha Golf Club can be reached in about a quarter of an hour, while it takes almost three hours to reach the club from São Paulo. In 2006, it opened an 18-hole-course with par 72, which was designed by golf professional and golf course architect Ricardo Rossi. The 6,542-meter-long course runs across relatively flat terrain and shows large greens, fairways limited by palm trees and other tropical trees, as well as many sand bunkers and water hazards. The layout of the course at the Damha Golf Club is characterized by two returning nines. Among the front nine holes, signature hole 6, which is home to a large island green, is to be emphasized, as well as hole 9, which has a sickle-shaped moon green, well protected by water. Among the back nine holes, ponds and lakes have holes 16 to 18 fully under control. Hole 16 has tee boxes, which are all on individual little islands amid a small lake. At hole 17 a strongly sloped green awaits with a protecting pond in the front, and at hole 18 a water hazard defends the green, which lies in the back.
