Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Quito?

Quito's climate is famously "eternal spring," but for golf, we recommend aiming for the dry season from June to September. You'll find consistently sunny mornings and less chance of afternoon showers, making for ideal playing conditions. Even during the wetter months, mornings are often clear, so you can still get a round in.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to play in Quito?

You'll find two distinct experiences in Quito, both offering stunning mountain backdrops. One is a classic, tree-lined parkland layout demanding precision, while the other offers more open, links-style play with dramatic elevation changes. Both are impeccably maintained and present a fair challenge, especially when you factor in the altitude.

With only two courses, is Quito truly a worthwhile golf destination on its own?

While Quito isn't a multi-course golf resort, it absolutely offers a unique golf experience that's worth the trip, especially when combined with the city's incredible culture. We recommend planning two or three rounds, then dedicating time to explore the historic Old Town, ride the TeleferiQo, and savor the fantastic local cuisine. It's a golf trip blended with an unforgettable cultural adventure.

How does Quito's high altitude affect golf play, and what should I know?

Quito sits at over 9,000 feet, and you'll definitely notice the altitude's effect on your golf ball - it flies further! Expect your drives to carry an extra 10-15% distance, so club selection becomes crucial. We advise arriving a day or two early to acclimate, staying hydrated, and perhaps taking a cart to conserve energy on the hilly layouts.

What are the typical costs for a round of golf in Quito?

Golf in Quito offers good value compared to many international destinations. You can expect green fees to range from $60-$120 USD, often including a caddie, which we highly recommend for local course knowledge. Cart rentals are usually an additional $20-$30, but walking with a caddie is a great way to experience the courses.
