Buried deep in a piece of land full of history, it is the youngest golf course in the province. Four
centuries ago, Potrerillo de Larreta's lands belonged to the imposing Jesuit estancia of
Alta Gracia, declared Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Nowadays, and on the owners' own initiative, the
place boasts a first level 18-hole golf course, build within metres of the gorgeous colonial-style
main house.
Located 30 kilometres from the capital city of Córdoba, almost reaching the town of Alta Gracia, the
main features of this par 72 golf course, are several streams crossing holes 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8; a
unique property for a golf course that preserves its natural surroundings. Besides, it has four
different set of tees per hole, and in some of them there are even five, providing a significant
advantage for those players with a high handicap and for the ladies as well.
Both the beauty of the countryside and the mildness of the climate turn the game of golf into
a real pleasure. The Jesuits that preached in these lands had been wise at the time of choosing. These
lands also belonged to the viceroy Santiago Liniers and, in 1918, they were bought by the writer
Enrique Larreta. In 1999, the family that owns it decided to complete the tourist
offer (the main house works as a small hotel and the place is ideal for adventure tourism) with
a golf course that is worth visiting.
