Flanked by Brazil and Argentina, tiny Uruguay shares with its bigger neighbours a love of football (the first World Cup took place here in 1930), gaucho culture (horsemen, cattle ranches and big open skies) and surf-pounded beaches, several of which have gained an international reputation as the hot spot du jour.

Golf enthusiasts are usually fascinated once they find out they have got a couple of outstanding golf courses in Montevideo. The first is in the actual center of the city, looking at the coastline, with an unequalled perspective of the city skyline. And the second one is at the western point of the metropolis, having a just as superb view.

The making of the first holes of Cantegril Country Golf Club commenced in 1929 on a terrain of 62 hectares of pine trees and eucalyptus at one mile from the coastline however the 18 holes opened in 1947 at the emergency of Punta del Este becoming the hottest vacation place to go for porteños (Argentineans from Buenos Aires) who were disliking Mar del Plata as it grew to be way too cheap and congested.

Uruguay has two golf courses in Montevideo, Club de Golf del Cerro and Club de Golf del Uruguay; one in Canelones (near Montevideo), La Tahona Golf Club; one at Fray Bentos (Rio Negro); three around Punta del Este: Cantegril Golf Club, Club de Golf del Lago and La Barra Golf Club; one in Colonia, the Sheraton Golf Resort, and finally, the Four Seasons Golf Resort at Carmelo.

Just a one-hour flight away from Buenos Aires, Punta del Este as well as the surroundings are filled with pristine Atlantic shorelines, tanned ladies, not to mention excellent food. Below are a few of the finest places to eat which have a relaxed feel along with locally sourced menus.
