Are there any particular holes at Club de Golf Pan de Azúcar that truly stand out?

Absolutely, the 14th hole, a par-5, is a real stunner and often considered Pan de Azúcar's signature. It plays downhill with a dramatic dogleg left, offering panoramic views of the distant Andes on a clear day, and demands a precise second shot to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the green. We also love the challenging uphill par-3 7th, where club selection is everything.
