The Jockey Club Golf is one of the famous golf of South America.
It is located at 20 minutes from down town Buenos Aires.
The main building, inaugurated in 1945, was build and designed
for the maximum comfort and has all facilities needed. The
famous cancha Colorada (6,628 yards) and Azul (6229 yards)
were designed by Allister Mackenzie.
The “Cancha Colorada” (right picture) inaugurated
in 1928, has welcomed world cup 1962 and 1970, the national
championship, the Paco Rabanne Cup playing by both best Europeans
and Americans. The design seems to be apparently easy, but,
while playing, it’s becoming amazing for the first shots
of each hole are very important.
The designer has added some mounds and unevenness to the flat
area where lies the golf. Therefore, playing is outstandingly
more complicated.
It is surrounded by woods, with pine trees for main species.
In spite of this, the layout is often open and it is possible
to play the hole strait towards the fairway.
The greens can’t be seen from the centre of the fairway.
As a result, you must aim at the flag.
Most of the time, it is not easy to read the greens for putting
and short shots.
Here, it is compulsory to seek and learn the secrets of the
fairways and greens before playing well. It is better not
to play alone on the flag. If not, you have to forget the
amazing shots, and make it in the old fashion Scottish way:
chipping. -Arelauquen

Food
Argentina is well known for its wines, produced mostly in the province of Mendoza, near the Andes, and… for its fabulous beef! Ask for a "bife de chorizo" or "lomo" and have it with a good red Malbec wine. In Patagonia, don´t miss the Patagonian lamb barbecue, nor the trouts from the lakes nor the Pacific salmons.
If you are a vegetarian: no problem, Argentina is a great fruit and vegetable producer, so you will find quality and variety at very low prices.
