La Loma Golf Club
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play La Loma Golf Club?
We always recommend visiting La Loma during Argentina's spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May). The weather is beautifully mild then, perfect for walking the course without the intense summer heat or the occasional chill of winter. You'll find the course in prime condition, too, with lush fairways and true greens.
What kind of challenge can I expect at La Loma, and are there any must-play holes?
La Loma offers a fantastic test of accuracy, especially with its tree-lined fairways and subtly undulating greens. The par-5 12th hole is a real standout - it demands a precise tee shot to set up a chance at reaching the green in two, but a smart lay-up is often the better play. Don't underestimate the short par-4 16th either; it's a classic risk-reward hole that can make or break your round.
How do green fees at La Loma compare to other Argentine courses, and what's the best way to book?
Green fees at La Loma are quite reasonable for the quality of the course, placing it in the mid-range compared to some of the more exclusive clubs around Buenos Aires. We highly recommend booking your tee time directly through their website or by calling the pro shop a few days in advance, especially if you're planning to play on a weekend. Caddies are available and we suggest taking one - their local knowledge is invaluable.
What's the overall atmosphere like at La Loma, and what other facilities should I check out?
La Loma has a wonderfully welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere - it feels like a true golfer's club. After your round, definitely head to the clubhouse for a traditional 'picada' (a platter of local cheeses and cured meats) and a cold Quilmes beer on the patio. Their practice facilities are also excellent, with a solid driving range and a dedicated short game area to sharpen your wedges.
What's one practical tip for someone playing La Loma for the first time?
Our top tip for La Loma is to pay close attention to the elevation changes, especially on your approach shots. Many greens are slightly elevated or feature subtle slopes that can make club selection tricky, so trust your caddie's advice on yardage and aim. Don't be afraid to take an extra club if you're hitting uphill - it's often the smart play here.
