9 Holes at Bogotá Club — City Highlands Golf Round
A brisk nine holes at the Bogotá Club pairs polished fairways with highland air and mountain-framed views. Ideal for players short on time who want a tactical, well-kept course with clubhouse comforts.
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.
