Lima Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the vibe like at Lima Golf Club, and is it welcoming for international visitors?

You'll find Lima Golf Club offers a classic, somewhat exclusive city club feel, a beautifully maintained oasis right in the heart of the action. While it is a private club, they generally welcome international guests with prior arrangements, so don't just show up unannounced. Expect a respectful, traditional atmosphere.

What should I expect from the course layout and conditions at Lima Golf Club?

This is a surprisingly flat, parkland-style course nestled right in the city, offering a pleasant walk rather than a strenuous hike. The fairways are generally lush, and the greens can be tricky with subtle breaks that demand your attention. Don't expect dramatic elevation changes, but precision is key to navigating the mature trees and well-placed bunkers.

When is the best time of year to play Lima Golf Club, considering Lima's unique climate?

Lima's climate is unique, often overcast, but we strongly recommend playing between December and April. During these months, you'll experience warmer temperatures and more sunshine, making for a much more enjoyable round. The rest of the year can be quite grey and misty, which isn't ideal for golf.

What are the green fees like for a non-member at Lima Golf Club, and how do I secure a tee time?

Expect green fees to be on the higher side for the region, reflecting its prime city location and exclusivity. You absolutely need to call ahead or have your hotel concierge assist with booking a tee time, as walk-ins are rarely accommodated. Always confirm the current guest policy and fees when you call.

Are there any specific local tips or traditions I should know before playing at Lima Golf Club?

You'll notice a relaxed but respectful atmosphere; a collared shirt and tailored shorts or trousers are standard dress. After your round, we highly recommend enjoying a Pisco Sour at the clubhouse bar - it's a classic Peruvian experience and a perfect way to unwind. Don't rush off; soak in the old-world charm.
