Golf Holidays in South America
South America pulses with an amazing atmosphere, carried by its millions through whose veins flow football, dance, food, and the products of a turbulent and tumultuous history. This amazingly diverse and often beautiful landscape features idyllic beaches, vast expanses of natural forests and mountains, and some of the world's most fascinating cities.
The most popular choice for golfers is Argentina, where golf was introduced by the sizeable British expatriate community around the turn of the twentieth century - here the blend of traditional and distinctly British courses and new American-inspired projects makes the golfing landscape truly fascinating.
However after the 2012 Olympics in Brazil, the Olympics Golf Course has certainly put Brazil on the map for golfers.
Golf is pretty well established in Argentina, the traditional courses have been supplemented by some fantastic American projects, producing a surprisingly challenging and satisfying golfing landscape.
