Why this trip
I’m Frank, a Swiss golfer who moved to Colombia in 2015 and started Pelecanus in 2017. Most of the good golf here is behind the gates of private member clubs, and getting you onto them is our job. This trip gives you the best of both worlds: three classic courses on the cool Bogotá plateau and two by the Caribbean. You deal with me directly, not a call center.

What makes golf in Colombia special
Why golfers who have “done” Florida, Scotland and Mexico come here.
Good to know
Golf in Colombia. Most Colombian courses sit inside private member clubs; access normally requires membership or a member’s invitation, and that is what we arrange. Caddies are part of the experience at the Bogotá clubs, which you play on foot. Wear long trousers at the Bogotá clubs; shorts are fine at Karibana. Bring your passport to every club.
Weather. Bogotá: 7–19 °C (45–66 °F), so bring a layer. Cartagena: highs of 31–32 °C (88–90 °F), so we book early tee times.
When to go. Year-round. Bogotá is driest January–February and July–August; the Caribbean coast is dry December to April. Members play weekends, so our rounds are mostly midweek.
Getting there. Nonstop flights to Bogotá from more than a dozen US cities, including Miami, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Chicago and Washington. Colombia is on US Eastern Standard Time all year. US citizens need no visa for stays up to 90 days.
Make it yours. Add La Cima at 3,000 m (9,843 ft), beach nights or the coffee region; a non-golfer program; groups of 8–12. Prefer a shorter trip? See our 8-day Bogotá golf week.
Questions
Is Colombia safe for a golf trip?
You travel with a private driver on every transfer and golf day, stay in well-located hotels and play inside gated private clubs. As in any big city, use common sense when you walk around; we brief you on everything before you travel, and our team is on WhatsApp throughout the trip.
Can non-golfers come along?
Yes. They join the city days and the boat, and we plan something else for them on golf days.
Can I bring my own clubs on the domestic flight?
Yes, the golf bag is included in the fare we book.
How do payment and deposit work?
We confirm the payment terms, deposit and balance, together with your quote.
Can we change dates or courses?
Yes. Every trip is built for you; this itinerary is a starting point.
How does the altitude affect my game?
The ball carries about 10% farther in Bogotá. Most golfers take one club less after a few holes.
