Playing Golf in Buenos Aires
In a country known for its wide plains and abundance of grassy pastoral land, you know that golf courses are bound to be both plentiful and accessible. While Japanese businessmen are obliged to pay hundreds of dollars for a round of golf in their densely populated island, Argentineans have the good fortune to be able to enjoy 18 holes for just a few pesos.
Greater Buenos Aires has plenty of lovely golf courses, most of them attached to fairly exclusive country clubs. To play these courses, you may require membership, or be expected to hand over a fairly hefty green fee. Some clubs are a little finicky about requiring an official accreditation and handicap to play and most will want each player to have their own set of clubs. Although these rules can sometimes be relaxed a little for foreigners, the best way to play one of these courses without spending Japan-class money is to get yourself invited by someone who is already a member.
