Hurlingham Club

Hurlingham Club is an Anglo-Argentine sports club in Hurlingham, in the western suburbs of Buenos Aires, founded in 1888 and named after the London club. Its 73-hectare grounds hold a golf course, polo fields, a cricket ground and the tennis section. The club has six grass courts and twelve clay courts; it states that its grass courts are the only ones in Argentina. All courts were originally grass, and clay was added in 1912 so that tennis could be played all year. Tennis is recorded at the club from at least 1907, and it was an early member of the Asociación Argentina de Tenis in 1921. The club hosted the Argentine International Grass Court Championships and runs separate annual internal championships on clay (Ladrillo) and grass (Césped). Play is for members; a guest must be accompanied by a member and may visit only once a month.
