Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit São Paulo for a golf trip, considering the weather?

We recommend visiting São Paulo for golf during the dry season, typically from April to September. You'll find pleasant temperatures and less humidity, making for much more enjoyable rounds. Avoid the summer months of December to February, as heavy afternoon rains can often disrupt play.

You'll discover a mix of well-maintained, classic layouts, often within or just outside the bustling city. While not overly long by championship standards, many courses feature tight fairways and strategic bunkering that demand precision. Expect a relaxed but focused atmosphere, where the challenge comes from accuracy rather than brute force.

How easy is it to get around São Paulo to different golf courses, and should I rent a car?

We recommend using ride-sharing apps or hiring a private driver for your golf excursions. This lets you relax and focus on your game, not the notorious São Paulo congestion.

Caddies are often mandatory or highly recommended, costing an additional R$100-R$200 plus a tip. You'll find club rentals are usually available, but bringing your own set is always preferred if possible.
