Las Palmas Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the playing experience like at Las Palmas Country Club, especially for a visitor?

You'll find the course at Las Palmas a pleasant challenge, especially with the tropical humidity adding an extra layer to your game. The tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, and we particularly love the back nine for its strategic water hazards that really test your approach shots.

When is the best time of year to play golf at Las Palmas Country Club in Bolivia?

We always recommend visiting during Bolivia's dry season, roughly May through October, for the most comfortable golf. You'll avoid the heavy downpours and oppressive humidity, ensuring the course is in prime condition and your round is uninterrupted.

Beyond the golf, what makes a visit to Las Palmas Country Club unique compared to other courses?

What truly sets Las Palmas apart is its integration with the local Santa Cruz environment; you'll often spot exotic birds and lush, native flora right on the course. It feels less like a sterile resort and more like a vibrant, living part of Bolivia, offering a genuine sense of place.

What should I know about green fees and booking a tee time as an international visitor?

As a visitor, you'll find green fees at Las Palmas are quite reasonable compared to many international courses, usually around $50-70 USD, but it's best to confirm current rates directly. We advise booking your tee time a few days in advance, especially on weekends, as it's a popular spot for local members.

Do I need to bring my own clubs, and are caddies available at Las Palmas Country Club?

You can certainly rent a decent set of clubs at the pro shop, which is convenient if you're traveling light, but don't expect the latest models. We highly recommend taking a caddie; they're incredibly knowledgeable about the course's subtle breaks and local conditions, making your round much more enjoyable and insightful.
