Uruguay is a virtually unexplored destination for golfers. Sitting on the undefined frontier between the Spanish and Portuguese Empires of Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay has always been a region of passing influences which has helped make its people so hospitable to visitors.
Uruguay is one of the safest countries in the World and is unique among South American countries - known as the Switzerland of the Americas. In Uruguay you will find a legacy of British and American entrepreneurs who set forth the agricultural and industrial activity in the country during the early part of the 20th century, leaving behind a heritage of golf. The world famous golf designer Dr Alister Mackenzie built three courses here before going on to build Augusta National.
Whilst in Uruguay you can also explore the culture and traditions of this unknown country, visit historic ranches, enjoy breathtaking landscapes of wetland, native forest, coastal lagoons, palm groves, sandy and rocky beaches. The food is also excellent and its beef can rival that of its neighbour Argentina whilst it also produces a superb red wine called Tannat.
