About Varadero Golf Club

Varadero Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 course in Varadero, in Matanzas province, designed by Les Furber. It occupies about 60 hectares on a narrow peninsula between the sea and a lagoon. The address is Carretera Las Americas, kilometer 8½, on the Autopista Sur. Several holes run beside the ocean, and salt-water lakes connected to the sea are part of the layout. Visiting golfers can play.

  • Rental clubs and golf carts are available, so visiting players do not need their own equipment.
  • The bar on the upper floor of the mansion looks out over the ocean.
  • The golf academy and driving range give players a place to practice and take lessons.
  • The design combines classic, target and links styles, so the holes vary in character.

History of Varadero Golf Club

The Xanadu Mansion was built in 1930 for Irénée du Pont, and the first nine holes were laid out around the house. The mansion now serves as the clubhouse and hotel.

Signature holes at Varadero Golf Club

Water shapes the round more than any one hole. Play moves between ocean-side holes and salt-water lakes, on a strip of land with the sea on one side and the lagoon on the other.

When to play Varadero Golf Club

Varadero has a warm tropical climate, with the drier and more comfortable months generally running from late autumn into spring and hotter, more humid and rainier weather in summer. Early morning tee times are the coolest option on a seaside course.

Playing Varadero Golf Club: tips

Bring sun protection for a course that sits between the sea and a lagoon, and plan your transport to kilometer 8½ of the Autopista Sur. The club's event calendar is worth checking before you travel.
