Frequently Asked Questions

Is Provincia de Arica worth visiting just for golf, given it only has one course?

Absolutely, if you're looking for a unique golf experience rather than a multi-course marathon. It's not a destination for a week-long golf trip, but for a day or two, you'll find a truly unique desert-meets-ocean course that's worth the visit. We recommend pairing it with exploring Arica's vibrant culture and stunning coastline for a well-rounded trip.

What are the playing conditions like at Arica's golf course?

You'll be playing on a course shaped by the Atacama Desert meeting the Pacific, so expect firm, fast fairways and greens that can be tricky with the coastal winds. It's a different kind of challenge, where precision and adapting to the dry conditions are key to a good score. We found the views alone make any errant shot easier to forgive.

When is the best time of year to golf in Provincia de Arica?

Arica truly lives up to its 'city of eternal spring' nickname, offering fantastic golf weather almost year-round. We recommend visiting outside of Chile's peak summer holidays - January and February - to enjoy fewer crowds and easier access to tee times. The consistent mild temperatures mean you'll rarely encounter a bad day for a round.

What else should I do in Arica besides golf?

Since you're only playing one course, make sure to explore Arica's unique attractions. We highly recommend climbing the historic Morro de Arica for breathtaking coastal views and diving into the local seafood scene - the ceviche here is truly exceptional. Don't miss a stroll along Playa Chinchorro to soak in the relaxed atmosphere.

How accessible is Arica's golf course, and what can I expect regarding costs?

Getting to the course from central Arica is straightforward, usually a quick taxi ride, making it very accessible for visitors. Green fees are quite reasonable for a unique South American experience, and you'll find rental clubs available, which we always appreciate when traveling light. Expect a friendly, laid-back atmosphere that adds to the value.
