Golf in South America?

[madcityscott]

My wife has a 6-month sabbatical coming up in a couple of years and we're talking about spending it somewhere in South America for cost-of-living purposes. I'd love to be able to golf while I'm there if it's not too pricey. Argentina is a strong contender; anyone have experience?

I've never played in Argentina, but I've played in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela. Venezuela had the best layouts but honestly all the rest were in good shape but kinda boring. Also everything is private so you need to stay at a decent hotel to hook you up or have something arranged before you leave. Usually a friend of a friend of a friend is a member someplace and they like to show off that they know someone who's a member,,,so just speak up let everyone know you're a golfer and somebody will get you in.

One bit of advice...clubs are usually available but bring your own, shoes, balls and glove...I played in Paraguay in November with a great set of Carlos Franco's old clubs but with range balls, sneakers & no glove. Give your proV's to the caddy when you're done...the kid can sell them for more than your tip.
