Golf Course Trades Runs my Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Interview

ROBERT TRENT JONES’S NEW COURSE IN ARGENTINA: TERMAS DE RIO HONDO

Once again, a big thank you to Golf Course Trades for running my Robert Trent Jones, Jr. interview. The link is here.

We talked about his new courses in Argentina, Mexico, and North Dakota. From the article:

“RTJ: Actually I’m opening a course perhaps as close to Antarctica as I’ve ever been. My latest design is in Argentina. It’s called Termas de Rio Hondo: Thermal Springs of Deep River in Spanish. It’s in Santiago de Tero, about an hour north of Buenos Aires by jet.

JF: What’s the terrain like?

RTJ: While Buenos Aires and its surrounding area are generally flat, Termas de Rio Hondo is a high desert climate. It’s much like Madrid and Catalonia: dry and arid. But this site also features many hot springs. It’s a magnificent site that Mauricio Macri, the President of Argentina, and
Gerardo Zamora the regional governor of Santiago de Estero province are developing into a destination spot with
hunting and fishing and other outdoor activities.”

Next up at Golf Course Trades and at Golf News Net we’ll be going back to see the final renovation work at Sleepy Hollow Country Club!
