About Club de Golf Los Leones
Club de Golf Los Leones is a private golf club in Las Condes, in Santiago's El Golf neighbourhood. The club was founded in August 1910 as the Santiago Golf Club, and it settled at its present site on the slopes of Cerro San Luis in 1937. The 18-hole, par 72 course measures 7,158 yards and covers about 71 hectares, with more than 180 tree species. Agustín Edwards Budge and Edgard von Schroeders designed the course, Óscar Prager designed the park, and MacKenzie & Ebert have since renovated the layout while keeping its original character.

History of Club de Golf Los Leones
Club de Golf Los Leones was founded in August 1910 as the Santiago Golf Club by a group of golf enthusiasts. After several relocations, the club settled permanently in 1937 at its current site on the slopes of Cerro San Luis, in Las Condes, on land developed from portions of two historical estates. The course was designed by Agustín Edwards Budge and Edgard von Schroeders, with park design by Óscar Prager. The Copa Los Andes began in 1942, and the club has since hosted PGA Tour Latinoamérica events and Jack Nicklaus and Joaquín Niemann have played there. MacKenzie & Ebert have more recently renovated the layout.
