The Rio de Janeiro Olympic Golf Course (Portuguese: Campo Olímpico de Golfe) is a new venue built for the golf tournaments of the 2016 Summer Olympics, within the Marapendi Natural Reserve in the Barra da Tijuca zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The golf course was designed by Gil Hanse and the clubhouse chosen by competition, won by Pedro Évora and Pedro Rivera, from the Brazilian office Rua Arquitetos.
Golf returned to the Olympics in 2016 after more than a century, last played in 1904, and featured two events, the men's and women's individual events.
After the Summer Olympics end, the golf course will be opened to the public.
