Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Country Club La Planicie as a non-member?

This is a private club, so direct public access isn't straightforward. We recommend contacting the club in advance to inquire about guest play, often requiring an invitation from a member or reciprocal club arrangements. Don't just show up expecting to walk on.

What's the playing experience like at La Planicie, and what should I expect from the course layout?

You'll find a well-maintained, classic parkland layout with mature trees and strategic bunkering that demands accuracy, not just power. The course isn't overly long, but its tight fairways and undulating greens will test your short game and course management. We particularly enjoy the back nine's varied holes, offering a great mix of challenges.

When is the best time of year to play golf at Country Club La Planicie?

We highly recommend visiting during Lima's summer months, roughly December through April, when you'll enjoy sunny skies and warmer temperatures perfect for golf. The rest of the year can be quite overcast and damp, known locally as "garúa," which isn't ideal for enjoying the course's beauty.

What amenities does Country Club La Planicie offer besides the golf course?

As a full-service country club, La Planicie provides excellent facilities beyond golf. You'll find a fantastic swimming pool, tennis courts, and a well-appointed clubhouse with dining options that are perfect for relaxing after your round. It's a true escape, offering a comprehensive leisure experience.

What's the typical cost for a visitor to play La Planicie, and is it worth it?

Expect green fees to be on the higher side for Peru, reflecting its exclusivity and prime condition - think comparable to a top-tier private club experience elsewhere. If you manage to secure a tee time, the impeccable service, pristine course, and overall ambiance make it a worthwhile splurge for a memorable round in Lima.
