Golf in Colombia

Pelecanus was founded in 2016 and has since focused on quality travel in Colombia. As we specialize in the luxury segment, offering golf in Colombia is a logical complementary to our strategy. Since 2019 we offer golf trips in Colombia to various destinations.

In addition, Colombia is the golfing paradise on earth. Not only can you play golf in various destinations in Colombia throughout the year, but you will also find a variety of topographies, temperatures and environments in this incredibly diverse country.

For example, you can play a round of golf in Bogota at over 3,000 meters (9,850 feet) above sea level today and tackle the next round tomorrow in Cartagena in the Caribbean at sea level. Is there another golf destination that offers these possibilities?

Although Colombia is the absolute golfing paradise, golf tourism is still barely developed. This is related to the fact that tourism in Colombia is generally still very young. However, since the country became secure for foreign travelers at the beginning of the 2000s and backpackers have become established, the segments of package and quality tourism are now also growing.

There are only a handful of public golf clubs in Colombia. The majority of the golf courses are private and very exclusive and sometimes part of a country club. It is therefore also a novelty for golf courses to receive foreign tourists. This is on the one hand very interesting, as foreigners are extremely welcome, on the other hand, the various golf clubs have no or only very modest rental equipment. In many golf clubs in Colombia is also traditionally played with Caddy.
