El arquitecto Ignacio Zuberbuhler, nieto de Larreta, heredo éstas tierras y en el año 1995, junto con sus hijos, comenzó con un proyecto familiar de un Resort y un Country Club, contando dentro de éste proyecto un campo de golf de 18 hoyos que recorre arroyos y morros, pensado para todo nivel de jugadores.
El campo fue trazado inicialmente por Angel Reartes en conjunto con los Zuberbuhler, quienes luego siguieron con la construcción y fueron asesorados en el diseño de los greens por el Arq. Marcos Capdepont, quien se hospedaba en la casona para realizar los dibujos mientras se construía la cancha.
Se implantaron praderas de tifway en los fairways, contando con un excelente riego por aspersión para ello, los greens son de norma tipo USGA y de césped agrostis de última generación. En diciembre de 1999 se inauguraron los primeros 9 hoyos y el Driving Range, utilizando, provisoriamente la hostería como Club House (actualmente se está trabajando en el proyecto del Club House). Hoy se utiliza el bar del 9, ubicado en el driving, devolviéndole de esta forma su intimidad a la hostería.
Otro detalle notable de la cancha es que desde un principio se trató de mantener lo natural del paisaje, de allí que, si bien los hubo, no se notan los grandes movimientos de suelos. En casi todos los hoyos se cuenta con 4 y 5 diferentes tees de salida, de ésta forma logramos equiparar el nivel de juego y sin ésta ventaja, sería casi imposible que los jugadores de alto hándicap pueden disfrutar de esta competitiva cancha.
El campo es de par 72 y 7.163 yds. El club posee carts eléctricos, y carros manuales para el alquiler, driving range y pro-shop.

The architect Ignacio Zuberbuhler, Larreta grandson, inherited these lands and in 1995, along with their children, a family project began with a Resort and Country Club, counting in this project is a golf course with 18 holes that runs streams and hills, designed for all levels of players.
The field was initially drawn together by Angel Reartes with Zuberbuhler, who then continued with the construction and were advised on the design of the greens by architect Mark Capdepont, who was staying at the house to make drawings while building the court.
Meadows were implanted Tifway on the fairways, with an excellent sprinkler irrigation for it, the greens are USGA standard type and art bentgrass turf. In December 1999 opened the first 9 holes and driving range, using the inn as temporarily Club House (currently working on the project of the Club House). Today we use the bar 9, located on the driving, thus restoring intimacy to the lodge.
It is a feature of golf Larreta The Potrerillo of the stream that comes into play on 5 of the first 9 holes, giving it a remarkable difficulty. The second nine holes, another stream surrounds them, but in this case only comes into play three holes therein, these may be more complicated because of its length.
Another notable detail is that since the court initially tried to keep the natural landscape, hence, although there was no noticeable major soil movement. In almost all holes are 4 and 5 different tees, this way we match the level of play without this advantage, it would be almost impossible for the high handicap players can enjoy this competitive field.
