Who they are
Dan Blankenship is an American golf course architect with recognised work in Brazil. In the archive, his signature is on the course at Quinta da Baroneza, in Bragança Paulista — eighteen holes, par 72, more than 6,950 yards and four tee boxes, across an area of more than 800,000 m², with 350,000 m² of playing area and 300,000 m² of rough.
Language
- Style: a Scottish-inspired links course — an open design, exposed to the wind and shaped by the terrain, rather than the tree-lined parkland style that dominates Brazilian golf.
- Materials and signature: Bermuda grass with automatic irrigation and drainage; courses that accommodate everyone from beginners to experienced players without losing technical demand.
Landmark works
- The golf course at Quinta da Baroneza, in Bragança Paulista, host to tournaments throughout the year and a benchmark for the sport in the country.
