Martindale
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Martindale in Argentina?
We recommend visiting Martindale during Argentina's spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May). You'll find ideal temperatures and less humidity, making for a much more enjoyable round. Avoid the peak summer months when it can get quite hot, especially mid-day.
What kind of challenge can I expect from Martindale's course layout?
Martindale offers a classic parkland challenge, demanding precision off the tee with its tree-lined fairways. The greens are often subtly undulated and well-protected, so your short game will definitely be tested. Don't be fooled by its beauty- it's a proper test of golf.
Is Martindale a private club, and how difficult is it to secure a tee time?
Martindale is indeed a private, members-only club, so getting a tee time requires some planning. Your best bet is to arrange a round through a local golf tour operator or by being invited by a member. We've found that a polite inquiry through your home club's pro can sometimes open doors.
Beyond the course, what amenities does Martindale offer for visitors?
You'll find a well-appointed clubhouse at Martindale, perfect for a post-round meal or a refreshing drink. Their practice facilities are top-notch, including a driving range and excellent short-game areas to warm up properly. The pro shop is also well-stocked with essentials and some nice local gear.
What's a unique local tip or experience we should look for when playing Martindale?
Make sure to embrace the caddie experience at Martindale- they are incredibly knowledgeable about the subtle breaks and local conditions. After your round, we highly recommend trying some of the local Argentine empanadas and a glass of Malbec at the clubhouse; it's the perfect way to cap off your day.
