Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is it to get to Mesa de Yeguas Country Club from Bogotá?

It's a bit of a journey, but absolutely worth it for the escape. You're looking at about a two-hour drive from Bogotá, heading southwest towards Anapoima-Girardot, so plan for a comfortable car and maybe a driver if you prefer to relax. The roads are generally good, but traffic can be a factor, especially on weekends.

What's the golf experience like at Mesa de Yeguas, and what makes it stand out from other Colombian courses?

This course is a true tropical gem, offering a distinct challenge with its lush, undulating fairways and strategic water hazards. We love how the natural landscape is integrated, demanding precision and rewarding thoughtful play, especially on the back nine where the views truly open up. You'll find it's a refreshing change from the higher-altitude courses closer to Bogotá.

When is the best time of year to visit Mesa de Yeguas for ideal golfing weather?

We highly recommend visiting during Colombia's dry season, typically from December to March or July to August, for the most consistent sunshine. The course is at a lower elevation than Bogotá, so expect warmer temperatures year-round, making it a perfect escape from the city's cooler climate. Just be prepared for the occasional tropical shower, even in the dry months.

Can non-members play at Mesa de Yeguas, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Mesa de Yeguas is primarily a private club, but you can often secure a tee time as a guest if you're staying at one of the nearby affiliated resorts or have a member sponsor. Green fees are on the higher end for Colombia, reflecting the club's exclusivity and pristine conditions, so budget accordingly for a premium experience. It's worth the splurge for the quality of play and service.

Are there any specific holes or challenges at Mesa de Yeguas that golfers should be prepared for?

Absolutely, the course has a few memorable tests. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th hole, which plays over water to a well-guarded green, and the long par-5 15th, where strategic bunkering can quickly turn a good drive into a tricky recovery. The elevation changes throughout the course also mean you'll be hitting a variety of uphill and downhill shots, adding to the fun.
