Golf in Carmelo, Uruguay

In Uruguay, on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, at the mouth of the Uruguay River, vineyards dot the hills of the rolling landscape. This is where one of the five best 18-hole golf courses in South America is located.

The Club House dominates the beautiful scenery and the greens are adorned with small lakes that are home to ducks. The air is pleasant year ‘round and there are never
strong winds. Birds fly over the beach and you can sun- bathe at your own special rhythm.

 

 

Four Seasons Resort Carmelo's beautiful bungalows are located around the swimming pool, which is surrounded by a pine and eucalyptus forest. Its Spa blends an Asian ambiance with a touch of “old hacienda", providing perfect moments of relaxation.

The region is perfect for visiting vineyards and wine cellars. Charming Granja Narbona. known for its good wine and excellent cheeses, is perfect for spending a day in the country. You can also watch a polo match, go horseback riding through the countryside, visit the gauchos and see how they round up cattle or simply enjoy a game of golf.

Four Season's Carmelo is located 30 minutes from Buenos Aires, by light plane, and three hours by buquebus (ferry) and car.
