Campo de Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Campo de Golf, considering Colombia's climate?

We've found the sweet spot for playing Campo de Golf is during Colombia's dry season, typically from December to March and again from July to August. You'll enjoy consistent sunshine and firm fairways, making for ideal playing conditions without the afternoon downpours that can slow things down. Just remember to book your tee times well in advance, as these periods are popular.

What unique challenges or signature holes should I look out for at Campo de Golf?

Campo de Golf truly shines with its dramatic elevation changes and the way it incorporates the natural jungle-like surroundings. Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, where you'll hit from an elevated tee to a green guarded by a deep ravine-it's a real test of nerve and club selection. The course demands precision, especially on its tighter back nine, so bring your A-game.

What's the deal with caddies at Campo de Golf, and are they recommended?

Absolutely, we highly recommend taking a caddie at Campo de Golf; it's practically essential for navigating the course's subtle breaks and hidden hazards. The local caddies are incredibly knowledgeable, often giving you insights into the greens that you'd never spot on your own. Expect to pay around 50,000-70,000 COP for their services, plus a tip, which is well worth it for the guidance.

How does the altitude at Campo de Golf affect my game, and what should I prepare for?

If you're coming from sea level, you'll definitely notice the altitude at Campo de Golf-it's situated at about 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) above sea level. Your ball will fly further, so club down by about half a club, especially on your irons. We also suggest staying well-hydrated and taking it easy on the first few holes to acclimate; it makes a big difference to your stamina.

Beyond the golf, what's the clubhouse experience like, and what local food should I try?

The clubhouse at Campo de Golf offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with fantastic views of the course and surrounding mountains. After your round, you absolutely must try their Ajiaco, a traditional Colombian chicken and potato soup-it's hearty, flavorful, and the perfect way to refuel. Pair it with a cold Club Colombia beer, and you've got the ideal post-round treat.
