Medal Contry

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Medal Contry, and what unique weather challenges should I prepare for?

We've found the sweet spot for Medal Contry is late spring (October-November) or early autumn (March-April). You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures, usually in the low 70s Fahrenheit, and the course is in prime condition. Just be ready for the occasional strong afternoon pampero wind, especially on the back nine - it can really add a stroke or two to your score.

How challenging is Medal Contry for an average golfer, and what's its signature design feature?

Medal Contry offers a fair but firm challenge; it's not overly long, but precision is key. Its signature lies in the clever use of natural arroyos and elevation changes, particularly around holes 7 through 11. You'll need to think strategically about your approach shots to avoid the deep bunkers guarding those elevated greens.

Is Medal Contry accessible to visitors, and what's the typical green fee I should budget for?

Yes, Medal Contry welcomes visitors, though it's best to book your tee time a few weeks in advance, especially on weekends. We typically see green fees ranging from $80-120 USD, depending on the season and if you opt for a cart. It's excellent value for a course of this caliber in Argentina.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or experiences does Medal Contry offer that we shouldn't miss?

After your round, you absolutely must visit the clubhouse restaurant for a traditional Argentine asado - their grilled meats are fantastic and the views from the terrace are stunning. We also recommend checking out the pro shop; they often have unique, locally-designed golf apparel you won't find anywhere else.

What's one practical tip for navigating Medal Contry's course layout that most visitors overlook?

Many visitors underestimate the subtle breaks on the greens, especially those with views of the distant Sierras. Our best advice is to always play a little more break than you initially read, particularly on downhill putts. Trust your caddy's local knowledge here - they've seen it all.
