Golf Out of 2016 Olympics?

By now many of you have heard that come 2016, the Olympics will be held in Brazil. While that should be an added feather to the country, does Rio de Janeiro have a suitable golf course to accommodate golf events for 2016? Brazil has never been known to be a prime destination for golfers and this looks like it is going to be an issue.
