Course Description
Fundado em 11 de setembro de 1959, por um grupo de santa-cruzenses, veranistas da praia de Torres, onde conheceram e se encantaram pelo golfe, o SCCC é hoje o único campo de golfe de 18 buracos do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, construído com a colaboração dos sócios e de empresas da cidade e da região.Distante 150 km da capital Porto Alegre, o campo, que iniciou com 9 buracos, hoje ocupa uma magnífica área de cerca de 60 hectares no chamado Cinturão Verde de Santa Cruz do Sul, onde estão preservadas espécies da flora e da fauna características da porção sul da Mata Atlântica. Uma natureza exuberante!Localizado a poucos minutos do centro da cidade, o SCCC conta com uma sede social, inaugurada em 2004, que oferece uma vista maravilhosa da cidade e uma visão privilegiada do campo e dos greens dos buracos 9 e 18. A sede inclui um salão principal, salão superior com terraço, salão de jogos, bar, secretaria, vestiários, banheiros, sala de tacos, varanda, churrasqueira e cozinha.O projeto do campo de 18 buracos, cuja execução foi concluída em 2005, foi elaborado por Randall Thompson, da American Golf Course Design e conta com um Driving Range que é aberto à comunidade e a todos interessados em aprender a jogar golfe, que une esporte e natureza.
