Benquerencia

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Benquerencia without battling the elements or crowds?

We've found the sweet spot for Benquerencia is during Argentina's spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May). You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures, lush course conditions, and fewer local golfers, making for a truly relaxed round. Avoid the peak summer heat and humidity if you can.

What kind of challenge does Benquerencia present for different handicaps?

Benquerencia is a proper test, especially from the back tees, but it's fair for all. The course design features strategic bunkering and water hazards that demand thoughtful shot placement, particularly on the back nine. We recommend playing a tee box that matches your game to truly enjoy its subtle elevation changes and pristine greens.

What's the one hole at Benquerencia that everyone talks about, and why?

Without a doubt, the par-3 17th is Benquerencia's showstopper. It demands a precise carry over a sprawling lake to a well-guarded green, with the stunning Argentine countryside as your backdrop. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking hole that you'll remember long after your round.

Is Benquerencia easily accessible from Buenos Aires, and what's the best way to get there?

Benquerencia is about an hour and a half drive south of Buenos Aires, making it a perfect day trip or an overnight stay. We always recommend arranging private transport or a rental car; it gives you the flexibility to explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Don't rely on public transport for this one.

Beyond the golf, what can I expect from the Benquerencia experience, like caddies or the clubhouse?

The Benquerencia experience extends well beyond the fairways. We highly recommend taking a caddie; they are incredibly knowledgeable about the course's nuances and local reads. The clubhouse is also fantastic, offering excellent post-round meals and a well-stocked pro shop where you can grab some unique Argentine golf gear.
