El Desafio Mountain Resort

Located 10 minutes from Chapelco Airport in the Andes Mountains is the Greg Norman-designed Desafío Mountain Resort. The resort opened its first nine holes in 2015 with the remaining nine still under development. The course was conceptualized to appear as if it was naturally occurring in the vast mountain landscape and features low elevation holes cut through dense pine forests as well as higher elevation holes sprawled out across wide-open alpine meadows. Playing conditions feature generous fairways, rugged sandbelt-style bunkering, and well-protected firm and fast greens. The featured hole on the front nine is the downhill par-4 third with a wide rolling fairway and small green protected by native grass on the left and deep bunkering on the right. Surely, once the final nine holes at Desafío Mountain Resort are completed, it will jump up the list of best golf destinations in Argentina.
