Club Los Lagartos

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a non-member like me get a tee time at Club Los Lagartos?

Getting on as a non-member at Club Los Lagartos isn't straightforward, but it's definitely doable with a bit of planning. Your best bet is to find a member who can invite you as a guest, or check if your home club has a reciprocal agreement-we've seen that work for many visitors. If those options don't pan out, sometimes a local golf tour operator can arrange access, though it usually comes at a premium.

What makes the golf course at Los Lagartos truly unique compared to other Colombian courses?

You'll immediately notice the incredible variety in the two 18-hole courses, the 'Fundadores' and 'El Lago,' each offering a distinct challenge. We particularly love Fundadores for its mature tree-lined fairways and subtle elevation changes that demand precise shot-making. Keep an eye out for the actual lagartos (lizards) sunning themselves near the water hazards-it's a cool touch you won't find everywhere.

When's the ideal time of year to play Club Los Lagartos for the best weather?

Bogotá's climate is pretty consistent year-round, but for the driest conditions at Los Lagartos, we recommend visiting during the 'summer' months of December to February or July to August. You'll find the fairways firmer and the greens running truer, making for a more enjoyable round. Even in the 'rainy' seasons, showers are often brief, so don't let a little drizzle deter you entirely.

What's the overall atmosphere like at Club Los Lagartos, and what should I expect beyond the golf?

Club Los Lagartos has a wonderfully traditional, family-friendly atmosphere-it feels like a true oasis within the city. Beyond the excellent golf, you'll find top-notch practice facilities, tennis courts, and a fantastic swimming pool area perfect for unwinding after your round. The clubhouse dining is excellent, offering a great spot to enjoy a post-game meal with views of the course.

What's the typical cost for a visitor to play at Los Lagartos, and is it worth the splurge?

As a private club, green fees for non-members at Los Lagartos are on the higher side, typically ranging from $150-$250 USD, depending on how you gain access. This usually includes a caddy, which we highly recommend for navigating the courses. While it's an investment, the immaculate conditioning, challenging layout, and overall exclusive experience make it absolutely worth it for a memorable round in Colombia.
