Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth traveling to Departamento Las Heras just for golf, given there's only one course?
Absolutely, if you appreciate a unique, high-altitude challenge with stunning Andean backdrops. The single course here, Club de Campo Mendoza, offers an unforgettable experience that's less about quantity and more about quality and scenery. You'll find a well-maintained track that demands precision, making it a rewarding stop for any serious golfer.
What's the best time of year to play golf in Departamento Las Heras?
We highly recommend visiting during the spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) months. The weather is pleasantly mild then, offering ideal playing conditions without the intense summer heat or the chill of winter. You'll enjoy clear skies and vibrant landscapes, perfect for soaking in the mountain views.
What can I expect from the golf course itself in Las Heras - is it challenging, scenic, expensive?
The course at Club de Campo Mendoza is indeed a challenging and incredibly scenic layout, nestled right against the foothills of the Andes. You'll encounter elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and fast greens that demand your full attention. Green fees are moderate for the quality, typically ranging from $50-80 USD, offering excellent value for such a memorable round.
Beyond the golf, what else is there to do or see in Departamento Las Heras?
While golf is a highlight, Las Heras is also a gateway to incredible outdoor adventures and the renowned Mendoza wine region. We suggest exploring the nearby Aconcagua Provincial Park for hiking or taking a scenic drive along the Ruta Nacional 7. You're also just a short drive from world-class wineries where you can enjoy tastings and tours.
How do I get to Departamento Las Heras and what's the best way to get around once I'm there?
You'll fly into Mendoza's El Plumerillo International Airport (MDZ), which is conveniently located very close to Las Heras. We strongly recommend renting a car directly from the airport, as it gives you the freedom to explore the golf course, wineries, and mountain attractions at your own pace. Taxis and ride-sharing are available but less practical for extended exploration.
