About the Course
Club El Rincón de Cajicá commands an elite position within the South American golfing landscape, situated on the breathtaking Bogotá savanna in Cundinamarca, Colombia. Resting at a towering elevation of approximately 8,200 feet above sea level, the property features a pleasantly undulating topography bordered along its eastern edge by the Bogotá River. The terrain is lined with mature Andean forestry and heavily interspersed with natural and man-made water hazards that dictate the strategic flow of the routing.

What golfers love
4 PROS
World-class architectural pedigree, featuring a 1963 design by Robert Trent Jones Sr. that expertly leverages the Andean savanna landscape.
Impeccable tournament history, having hosted the historic 1980 World Cup of Golf and serving as a recurring battleground for the PGA Tour Americas.
Extreme high-altitude setting (8,200 feet) generates up to 10% more ball carry, presenting a highly unique aerodynamic and strategic experience.
Pristine agronomic conditions characterized by lightning-fast Bentgrass greens and meticulously manicured, yet penal, Kikuyu grass fairways.
Things to know
3 CONS
A highly restrictive access policy ensures play is generally confined exclusively to members and their directly accompanied guests.
Extreme difficulty—boasting a massive 143 Slope rating from the back tees and penal water hazards in play on nearly half the holes.
Mandatory caddie requirements and uncompromisingly strict dress codes (including a ban on shorts for men) can catch international visitors off guard.
Local Tips
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR ROUND
01
Mastering the Altitude
Factor in a 10% increase in ball flight distance due to the 8,200-foot elevation, and club down accordingly on all approach shots.
02
Navigating the Dress Code
Ensure you pack golf trousers, as the club strictly prohibits men from wearing shorts on the course or within any dining areas.
03
Caddie Collaboration
Lean heavily on your mandatory caddie for reading the severe, multi-tiered Bentgrass greens, and carry local currency for the fee and gratuity.
04
Pacing the Round
Embrace the local culture by planning for a relaxed pace of play, which customarily includes a traditional stop for a meal after the front nine.
