Olympic Golf Course, Golf course in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Olympic Golf Course spans 970,000 square meters with 18 holes, two artificial lakes, and a layout integrating native vegetation of the Marapendi Reserve.

The facility opened in November 2015 and marked golf's return to the Olympic Games in 2016, after a 112-year absence from the competition program.

The course design by Gil Hanse incorporates Brazilian natural elements while maintaining professional golf standards required for international competitions.

The facility includes a clubhouse, practice areas, and equipment rentals, with public access available through advance reservations made on the official website.

British player Justin Rose and South Korean player Inbee Park earned the first Olympic gold medals in golf since the 1904 St. Louis Games.
