We've found the shoulder seasons-spring (October-November) and autumn (March-April)-offer the most pleasant conditions for golf here. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and the chilly winter winds, enjoying comfortable temperatures and the region's beautiful high-desert scenery at its best.

Malargüe is a bit off the beaten path, usually requiring a drive from Mendoza city (about 4-5 hours), but the journey through the landscape is spectacular. Green fees are refreshingly affordable compared to more established golf destinations, making it a great value for a unique experience. We always recommend calling ahead to confirm tee times, especially if you're visiting during a local holiday.
