Golf Anyone?


While you may be thinking more rustic in terms of your travel goals, MiniHostels likes to recommend (from time to time) some city-living fun for travelers.

The Buenos Aires golf club is a nice 18 hole course located in woodsy Palermo just north of the Hipodromo, just off of Av. Libertador. If you know where the Palermo lake sits in the city, you're in luck - you're about a long drives worth of distance from the golf course.

The golf club offers rentals, classes and tournaments which is all fairly cheap. Rentals will cost you about AR$60 pesos for the day, but if you have your own playing 18 holes is only AR$20! They don't have different prices if you'd rather take in a cool 9, but the cheap price is hard to beat. No carts are availalble so be prepared to walk the long course (although pull carts come with EVERY rental).

Weekends are busy, but weekdays it isn't common to be the only golfer on the hole.

Have fun city-dwellers!
