Frequently Asked Questions

Is Peru a serious golf destination, or just a few scattered courses?

You might be surprised, but Peru offers some truly engaging golf, especially around Lima and Arequipa. While it's not a traditional golf mecca, the courses are well-maintained and provide a fantastic complement to exploring the country's rich culture and landscapes.

When's the best time to plan a golf trip to Peru, considering its varied geography?

For coastal courses near Lima, visit between December and April for warm, sunny weather; the rest of the year can be overcast. If you're heading to higher-altitude tracks like those near Cusco, aim for the dry season from May to October to avoid heavy rains.

What's it like to golf at altitude in Peru, and how should I prepare?

Playing golf at 8,000 feet or higher, like at some clubs in the Andes, means your ball will fly further - often 10-15% more. We recommend taking it easy the first day, staying hydrated, and adjusting your club selection for the thinner air to avoid overshooting greens.

Beyond Lima, are there any hidden golf gems worth seeking out in Peru?

Absolutely, don't miss the chance to play in Arequipa, where you'll find stunning views of volcanoes surrounding the course. While not extensive, these regional clubs offer a unique, authentic Peruvian golf experience away from the capital's bustle.

What can I expect to pay for a round of golf in Peru, and is it easy to book?

Green fees typically range from $50 to $100 USD, making it quite affordable compared to many international destinations. Booking is generally straightforward, but we advise contacting clubs directly a few days in advance, especially for weekend play.
