Altavista Golf and Tennis Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play golf at Altavista Golf and Tennis Club?

You'll find the absolute best conditions at Altavista during Guatemala's dry season, typically from November through May. The fairways are firm, the greens roll true, and you'll avoid those afternoon downpours that can really slow down a round.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face on the Altavista course?

Honestly, the elevation changes are what will test your game most at Altavista. You'll encounter some dramatic uphill and downhill shots, so club selection becomes paramount, especially with the thinner air at this altitude. Don't forget to account for the wind, which can swirl unexpectedly on some of the more exposed holes.

How do the green fees at Altavista compare to other courses in Guatemala, and what's included?

Altavista offers excellent value for a championship course in Guatemala. While it's not a budget option, you're paying for a meticulously maintained track and a full club experience. Your green fee typically includes a cart, and we highly recommend taking a caddy - their local knowledge is invaluable on these greens.

What makes the Altavista Golf and Tennis Club experience unique beyond just the golf?

Beyond the challenging golf, Altavista truly shines with its stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Guatemalan highlands. After your round, you can enjoy a fantastic meal on the clubhouse terrace, soaking in the scenery, or even hit the tennis courts if you still have energy. It's a complete escape.

Is Altavista Golf and Tennis Club easily accessible for international travelers, and what should I know about getting there?

Altavista is quite accessible, located just a short drive from Guatemala City's international airport (La Aurora). We recommend arranging a private transfer or using a ride-sharing service, as public transport isn't ideal for getting there directly. The drive itself offers some beautiful glimpses of the countryside.
