Argentina Golf and Wine
Three rounds in Buenos Aires, then Mendoza: golf among the vines with the Andes behind you, and a day in the wineries. Extend north to Salta and Cafayate for mountain roads, red-rock valleys and some of the most dramatic scenery in the country, with a round among the vines at Cafayate.
Why golf and wine
Mendoza is Argentina's great wine region, home of Malbec, where vineyards run right up to the foot of the Andes. The golf here is played in big mountain light, on courses that sit among the vines.
Start with the private clubs of Buenos Aires, then fly west. You are driven everywhere, so the tastings are part of the trip, not a problem for the drive home.
It suits golfers who care about what is in the glass as much as what is on the card.
The courses
Day by day
A sample week. Every day can be changed, swapped or dropped: we can build anything you want.
Day One
Arrive in Buenos Aires
Met at the airport and driven to your hotel, then a private tour of the city.
Day Two
Olivos
The national championship course, with lunch at the club.
Day Three
San Andrés
The old Scottish-built members’ club.
Day Four
Pilar Golf
The modern championship test north of the city.
Day Five
Fly to Mendoza
A morning flight west, then an afternoon round at Club de Campo Mendoza.
Day Six
Tupungato Winelands
Golf among the vineyards of the Uco Valley, beneath the Tupungato volcano.
Day Seven
The wineries
Private tastings at two wineries, with a long lunch among the vines.
Day Eight
Home
Transfer to the airport.
Add Salta and Cafayate
Come for the scenery more than the golf. The northwest is some of the most dramatic country in Argentina: the mountain road out of Salta, red-rock valleys, the salt flats and the Humahuaca canyon. Cafayate has one course, among the vineyards, so plan a round there rather than a golf week, with winery visits in the high valleys. It is a long way north: allow at least four more days.
Where you stay in Buenos Aires
We usually stay in Recoleta, in one of these four. They are all well placed for a quick exit north to the golf courses and the polo, which are 60 to 90 minutes out of the city, and the domestic airport is 15 minutes away, where our guides look after the paperwork and your clubs.
Hotels we often use, or similar, subject to availability.
Where you stay in Mendoza
In the city, or in a boutique hotel within a vineyard. These are the ones we use most.

Good to know
When to go
September to May. The Vendimia harvest festival fills Mendoza in late February and early March.
Getting there
Flights from the UK go via Madrid or via Brazil. British Airways' Heathrow service to Buenos Aires currently stops in Rio de Janeiro, with non-stop flights (about 14 hours) due to return from 28 March 2027. Flying via Rio? It makes an easy stopover: add a few days in Rio de Janeiro before or after your trip. International flights are not included: you book your own and we plan the trip around them.
Time difference
Argentina is three hours behind the UK in the British winter and four in the British summer, so jet lag is mild.
Entry: British passport holders
Argentina: no visa needed for tourism for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for the whole of your stay. Brazil (a Rio stopover, or the Brazilian side of Iguazú): no visa needed for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Brazil. Travelling on another passport? Check your own government's advice. Checked against GOV.UK travel advice on 5 October 2026. Rules can change: always check before you travel.
Internal flights
Flights between regions are arranged for you by our team on the ground.
Dress codes
Private clubs expect collared shirts and tailored shorts or trousers. Your guide will brief you before each round.
Add to any trip
Every trip can be extended before or after the golf:
Iguazú Falls
One to three days at the falls, open all year. You stay on the Argentine side, at the Loi Suites. One day is the Gran Aventura jungle ride and the boat ride under the falls; on another you cross to the Brazilian side for the panorama, with an afternoon round at the Wish Golf Resort, and back to the hotel that evening.
The glacier and Ushuaia
The Perito Moreno glacier at El Calafate, then a short flight to Ushuaia on the Beagle Channel, home of the world’s most southerly golf course.
Cape Horn by expedition ship
A small-ship voyage between Ushuaia and Punta Arenas through the fjords of Tierra del Fuego, with daily landings and a chance to reach Cape Horn.
Torres del Paine
Chile's great national park of granite peaks, glaciers and lakes, from a lodge inside the park.
Fly fishing
Trout rivers around San Martín de los Andes, including the Chimehuin, combined with golf in the mountains.
Uruguay
A short crossing of the River Plate from Buenos Aires.
Rio de Janeiro
A few days in Rio before or after your trip: an easy stopover if you fly via Brazil.
Groups and societies
We look after groups of 8 to 40 golfers, and up to 60 with more notice, with a free place for the group organiser. Non-golfing partners are welcome: we plan their days too.
