Arelauquen Golf & Country Club

f you’re searching for a golf experience that transcends the usual fairway and green, then look no further than Arelauquen Golf & Country Club – where Patagonia’s majestic lakes and snow-tipped peaks become your backdrop on every hole. Just minutes from the charming town of San Carlos de Bariloche, this 18-hole par-72 layout, crafted by Vicente “Chino” Fernández, flows elegantly along the shores of Lago Gutiérrez and winds through forested slopes in a way that blends challenge, nature and pure serenity.

Imagine teeing off on holes with towering pines overhead, lake reflections shimmering at your side, and Andes silhouettes framing each approach. Each hole invites you to engage your strategy, while also pausing now and then to simply breathe in the Alpine-Patagonian air. Whether you’re lining up a drive down a tree-lined fairway, negotiating a water carry on a par-5, or navigating a dramatic downhill par-3 that drops over a creek, you’ll feel you’re part of something far beyond a “round of golf.”

The clubhouse and resort-style amenities complement the natural splendour: a top-tier driving range, chipping & putting facilities, buggies and rental clubs, a welcoming pro-shop and restaurant with views you’ll remember long after you’ve left. And when the round is done, the area invites you to explore the lakeside walks, mountain vistas and true Patagonian atmosphere – making Arelauquen not just a course, but a getaway.
