Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play El Golf de los Incas in Lima?

You'll find the most pleasant conditions from April to December, when Lima's "garúa" - that persistent misty fog - is less prevalent. We recommend aiming for the spring and summer months (October-April) for clearer skies and warmer temperatures, making for a much more enjoyable round.

What's the playing experience like at El Golf de los Incas - is it a challenging course?

This course offers a surprisingly engaging challenge, especially given its urban setting. The tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, and the greens, while not overly complex, require a good touch to score well. It's a fair test for most handicaps, but don't expect a walk in the park.

How easy is it to get to El Golf de los Incas from central Lima, and what should I expect from the location?

Getting there is quite straightforward; it's conveniently located in the upscale Surco district, usually a 20-30 minute taxi ride from Miraflores or San Isidro depending on traffic. You'll appreciate the well-maintained grounds and a sense of tranquility that belies its city location, offering a nice escape from the urban hustle.

Is El Golf de los Incas open to the public, and what are the typical green fees for visitors?

While it's primarily a members' club, visitors can often secure a tee time, especially during weekdays or by arranging through a local contact or hotel concierge. Expect green fees to be on the higher side for Peru, typically in the range of $100-150 USD, but it's a worthwhile splurge for the experience.

What's a unique highlight or "must-do" experience at El Golf de los Incas beyond the golf itself?

After your round, definitely take some time to enjoy the clubhouse facilities; the Peruvian hospitality here is top-notch. We particularly recommend sampling some local pisco sours or a traditional ceviche on the terrace, soaking in the views of the course and the surrounding city. It's a perfect way to cap off your day.
