Buenos Aires Golf Tour
A week in South America's golf capital: five rounds at private clubs that have hosted the Argentine Open and the World Cup, with steak, tango and the city in between.
Why Buenos Aires
Golf came to Argentina with Scottish and English settlers in the late 1800s, and Buenos Aires still has the best concentration of private clubs on the continent. Alister MacKenzie, the architect of Augusta National, spent three months here in 1930. The country has hosted the World Cup of golf three times, all in and around the capital.
These clubs are members-only. Getting a tee time means being introduced, which is what we arrange. You stay in the city, play on weekdays when the courses are quiet, and come back to one of the best food and nightlife cities in the world.
It suits a group of friends, a golf society, or a couple who want golf and a proper city break in one trip.
The courses
Seven of the best private clubs in and around the city. Not every club suits every golfer: they differ in design, in service and in whether they have buggies, so we choose the mix for your group.
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. If you land early, a private guide can show you the city: Recoleta, San Telmo and the colours of La Boca. Dinner is late here: tables fill from 9pm.
Day Two
Buenos Aires Golf Club
Your guide collects you after breakfast for the 2000 World Cup course, with water on much of the round. Lunch at the club, back in the city by late afternoon.
Day Three
Olivos
The national championship course: tree-lined, firm and precise.
Day Four
A day off the course
Rest the legs. Choose a private city tour, or a day at a working estancia on the pampas: horses, gauchos and a long asado lunch. In the evening, a tango show.
Day Five
Pilará
Jack Nicklaus's first signature course in Argentina, northwest of the city.
Day Six
The Jockey Club
MacKenzie's Red course in San Isidro, the round many golfers come for.
Day Seven
Nordelta, or a free day
The tournament course among the lakes, or keep the day for shopping, a long lunch and a last steak dinner.
Day Eight
Home
Breakfast, then a private transfer to the airport.
Make it your own
Anything from a long weekend to ten days, with three to eight rounds. Swap in Pilar Golf or San Andrés, add Iguazú Falls or a crossing to Uruguay, or a week in wine country or Patagonia.

Good to know
When to go
September to May. September to November and March to May are the most comfortable months for golf; December to February is hot.
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.
Buggies and caddies
Many of the courses, above all in Patagonia, are hard walking, and buggies need booking in advance: tell us if anyone in the group needs one. Buenos Aires Golf Club is the only course with caddies, and there they are compulsory. The Jockey Club has no buggies at all, so it is walking only. Buggy numbers are limited at some clubs, so for larger groups we book them well ahead.
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.
