Llao Llao Golf Resort
About this course
Llao Llao Golf Resort sits within Nahuel Huapi National Park in Argentina's Patagonian lake district, approximately 25 kilometers west of San Carlos de Bariloche. The course occupies a dramatic landscape where the Andes meet glacial lakes, with views across Nahuel Huapi and Moreno lakes and toward surrounding peaks. The property shares its setting with the historic Llao Llao Hotel, a landmark resort that has anchored this location since the 1930s. The golf course was designed by Emilio Serra and opened in the 1990s, though the routing and some holes have been modified over time. The layout works across varied terrain that includes forested sections, open meadows, and elevation changes characteristic of mountain golf. Several holes play along or near the lakeshore, while others move through stands of native arrayán and coihue trees. The natural topography creates both visual drama and strategic interest, with fairways that often require careful placement given the slopes and natural hazards. The course serves resort guests and members, functioning as part of a broader destination experience that emphasizes the region's natural beauty and outdoor recreation. The combination of mountain architecture, lake views, and Patagonian setting makes it a distinctive golf venue in South America, though the course itself is known more for its scenery and location than for championship-level difficulty or tournament history.

Getting there
The journey to Llao Llao Golf Resort begins at San Carlos de Bariloche International Airport, a compact gateway nestled in the Argentine Lake District that welcomes both commercial and private aviation. From the terminal, a twenty-five-minute drive west traces the legendary Circuito Chico along the crystalline shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi, where the road climbs through ancient arrayán forests and opens to sweeping vistas of snowcapped Andean peaks. The final approach delivers you to the resort's iconic alpine silhouette - a stone and timber masterpiece perched on a peninsula between two glacial lakes, where the Patagonian wilderness meets old-world European grandeur.
