Why the grand tour

Argentina is more than ten times the size of the UK. This trip is for golfers who want to see it properly: the city, the ice, the lakes and the falls, with golf woven through it rather than squeezed in.

Every leg is planned and every transfer is private, so the long distances are easy. Drop any section, or slow it down.

The courses

San AndrésIllustrative

San Andrés

Parkland · Mungo Park Jr. · one of Argentina's oldest clubs

Laid out by the Scottish professional Mungo Park Jr., who won the forerunner of the Argentine Open here three times. An old-school members' club: once inside the gates you forget the city is there. Tom Doak rated its greens the best in the country. About 30 minutes from the city centre.

Olivos Golf Club

Olivos Golf Club

Par 70 · Luther Koontz · 12 Argentine Opens

Argentina's championship course. It has hosted the national Open twelve times, most recently in 2024. Tree-lined, firm and precise. About 40 minutes from the city centre.

Pilar GolfIllustrative

Pilar Golf

27 holes · Ronald Fream, 1992 · Latin America Amateur 2015 and 2025

A modern championship layout north of the city. It hosted the first Latin America Amateur Championship, run with the R&A and Augusta National, and hosted it again in 2025. The winner earns a place in the Masters. About 50 minutes from the city centre.

Llao Llao

Llao Llao

Par 70 · Luther Koontz (1940) and Emilio Serra (1994)

Eighteen holes in the grounds of the Llao Llao hotel, framed by Lake Nahuel Huapi and Lake Moreno and old native forest. The front nine is by Luther Koontz, who also built Olivos; the 18th tee shot carries water.

ArelauquenIllustrative

Arelauquen

18 holes · Vicente Fernández · Lake Gutiérrez

Laid out by the Argentine champion Vicente "Chino" Fernández on the northern shore of Lake Gutiérrez, about 20 minutes from Bariloche, with Cerro Catedral above it.

Chapelco

Chapelco

Jack Nicklaus and Jack Nicklaus II · opened 2004

A Nicklaus father-and-son design outside San Martín de los Andes, with mountain streams, lagoons and native woodland running through it.

Good to know

When to go

October to April, when the south is open and the weather is settled across the country.

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.

The Brazilian side of the falls

A short border crossing at Iguazú. See Entry above for what British passport holders need for Brazil.

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.
