Prince of Wales Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How accessible is Prince of Wales Country Club for visitors staying in Santiago?

You'll find Prince of Wales incredibly convenient, nestled right within Santiago's La Reina commune. It's a quick 20-30 minute taxi or ride-share from most central city hotels, making it an easy escape without a long drive. We recommend booking your transport in advance, especially during peak hours, to ensure a smooth arrival.

What's the unique challenge or signature experience of playing Prince of Wales Country Club?

This course truly shines with its mature, tree-lined fairways and surprisingly undulating greens that demand precision. You'll quickly discover that while it's not overly long, strategic placement off the tee is key to avoiding trouble and setting up your approach shots. The par-3 17th, with its elevated tee and tricky bunker placement, is a real beauty and a memorable challenge.

When is the ideal time of year to plan a golf trip to Prince of Wales Country Club?

We always recommend visiting during Chile's spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) for the best playing conditions. You'll enjoy comfortably warm, dry weather without the intense summer heat or the cooler, sometimes rainy, winter months. The course is typically in pristine condition during these shoulder seasons, offering lush fairways and true-rolling greens.

Beyond the golf course, what other facilities or experiences should visitors expect at Prince of Wales?

As a true country club, Prince of Wales offers a fantastic array of amenities beyond the links. You'll find excellent dining options, from casual bites to more formal meals, perfect for unwinding after your round. It's a vibrant social hub, so expect a lively atmosphere and perhaps even a Pisco Sour at the clubhouse bar.

Is it difficult for non-members to play at Prince of Wales Country Club, and what are the typical green fees?

Access for non-members can be arranged, but it's primarily a private club, so don't just show up. We strongly advise contacting the club in advance, as visitor play is often restricted to specific days or requires an introduction from a member. Expect green fees to be on the higher end for Santiago-area courses, reflecting its exclusivity and prime condition.
