Club de Golf del Cerro - Montevideo


cerro-club.jpg (18125 bytes)

Excellent design, beautiful views of the bay, the sea and Cerro fortress. In 1913 the Swift slaughter and cold-storage plant (USA) was built in this zone and as was customary with Swift, a golf course was added to the plans. The club house was brought over from Chicago and the club is baptized with the name CHIMONT, Chicago-Montevideo. In the decade of the 30's the famous designer Dr Alliester McKenzie was given the responsibility of re-designing the club and finally in the 1950's, when the Swift company closed, the club was renamed with its present name.
