An 18-hole golf course in Carmelo

This course, in a place where the scenery is rolling and vineyards inhabit the hills, is located on the banks of the Río de la Plata, which flows into the Uruguay River. In these surroundings you will find one of the five best 18-hole golf courses in South America. The clubhouse dominates a beautiful panorama of greens adorned with small lakes with swimming ducks. The air is pleasant all year ‘round and strong winds are never present. The game is enjoyable and the hotel is a fabulous place in which to discuss it at the hour of the wonderful sunset.

The Four Seasons Hotel’s striking bungalows are located around the swimming pool that is nestled in the midst of a pine and eucalyptus forest. Its Spa combines an Asian ambiance with the flavor of ancient ranches and offers luxury and relaxation. The beach is a wonderful place for sea bird watching, swimming in the river and enjoying the ideal temperature.

 

 

 

The region’s attractions include vineyards, and their cellars, such as the Granja Narbona, a very charming spot that offers good wine, excellent cheese and the enjoyment of a day in the country. You can also enjoy a polo match, horseback riding in the countryside, a visit to see the gauchos round up cattle or simply partake of a game of golf.

The Four Seasons Golf Carmelo is located 30 nm by light aircraft from Buenos Aires and 3 hours by buquebus and car, four hours by car from Punta del Este, where we also discovered other beautiful courses near the sea and hidden among the pine forests.
