The Experience

Before You Go

Acclimate to the altitude

Spend a few hours in the city before teeing off and drink extra water—Bogotá’s ~2,600 m elevation affects stamina and ball flight.

Sun protection matters

Even on cool mornings the sun at altitude is strong; bring SPF, a hat, and UV sunglasses.

Wear spikeless or soft‑spike shoes

Damp turf and subtle undulations reward shoes with good traction; avoid heavy cleats that damage greens.

Confirm rentals and cart details

Although carts and a caddie are included in many bookings, check the pro shop on arrival for club rental availability and tee time booking rules.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Clubhouse terrace with clear views toward the Eastern Cordillera at sunset
  • Practice putting green and short game area—great for acclimating to speed and turf before teeing off

Wildlife

  • Urban hummingbirds near landscaped beds
  • Common city birds and small songbirds in tree lines

Conservation Note

Golf courses here are increasingly managing water use and favoring native plant buffers; respect course rules to limit turf damage and chemical runoff.

The Bogotá Club developed as part of the city’s early-20th-century recreational expansion, offering private sporting spaces as Bogotá urbanized.

Common Questions

Is a caddie included with the booking?

The listing often includes a caddie and green fee—verify inclusion at booking and ask about gratuity practices on arrival.

What is the dress code?

Most Bogotá clubs require collared shirts and golf-appropriate shorts or trousers; avoid jeans and athletic streetwear in the clubhouse.
