Quito Tennis y Golf Club El Condado

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Quito's high altitude affect your game at El Condado?

This is a big one. You'll definitely notice your ball flying further here due to the thinner air, so club selection becomes crucial. We found it added an interesting strategic layer, but be prepared for a bit more fatigue than usual - it's a walk, and the elevation is no joke.

What's the actual playing experience like at El Condado - is it a tough track?

El Condado offers a solid challenge, especially with its tree-lined fairways and some tricky elevation changes. You'll need to be accurate off the tee, and the greens can be deceptively quick, demanding a good short game. It's a classic layout that rewards thoughtful play, not just power.

When's the best time of year to play El Condado for ideal conditions?

We recommend visiting during Quito's dry season, roughly June to September, for the most consistent weather. You'll get plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures, making for a much more enjoyable round without unexpected rain delays. Just remember, even then, mornings can be cool.

Is El Condado accessible to non-members, and what should I expect for green fees?

Yes, El Condado welcomes non-members, which is great for visitors. Green fees are quite reasonable compared to similar quality courses in other countries, typically ranging from $80-120 USD. We always advise calling ahead for a tee time, especially on weekends, to confirm availability and current rates.

What makes playing at El Condado a unique experience beyond just the golf?

The views alone are worth the trip - you're surrounded by the stunning Andean landscape, often with glimpses of the city and surrounding volcanoes. It's not just a golf course; it's an immersion in the high-altitude beauty of Ecuador, offering a truly memorable backdrop to your round.
