Karibana vs. Cartagena Country Club (Club Campestre)

Which is better: Karibana or Club Campestre Cartagena?
It depends on what you're looking for. Karibana, designed by Nicklaus Design, is the only ocean-view course in Colombia, with 9 holes around lakes and mangroves and 9 holes along the Caribbean Sea — ideal if you want dramatic sea views and a tougher back nine. Club Campestre Cartagena is an 18-hole, par-72 course set in lush natural surroundings, offering a more classic, tranquil round. Both are private and accessed through Colombian Golf Trips.

Every recommendation on this website is based on our real experience organizing golf trips throughout Colombia—not on generic travel information. Our team regularly visits the golf courses, works directly with club staff, and continually updates our recommendations based on current course conditions and feedback from international golfers.

What are the differences between Karibana and Club Campestre Cartagena?
Karibana's signature feature is its oceanfront back nine and Nicklaus Design layout, with lakes and mangroves on the front nine. Club Campestre Cartagena is a beautiful inland course surrounded by nature, also 18 holes, par 72. Green fees, availability and exact package pricing differ between the two, so we recommend asking us for a comparison based on your travel dates.

Which is the best golf course for visitors in Cartagena?
Both Karibana and Club Campestre Cartagena are excellent options for visitors, and both are accessible without a club membership through Colombian Golf Trips' Cartagena packages. Golfers looking for an ocean-view, internationally designed course usually choose Karibana; those who prefer a classic countryside layout often choose Club Campestre.

Best Golf Destinations in Colombia

Which city has the best golf courses in Colombia?
Colombia offers excellent, well-designed 18-hole, par-72 golf courses across five main destinations: Cartagena (Karibana, the only ocean-view course in the country, designed by Nicklaus Design, plus Club Campestre Cartagena), Medellín (Club El Rodeo, Club La Macarena, Club Campestre Llanogrande), Bogotá (San Andrés Golf Course, El Rancho Golf Course), Cali (Club Campestre Cali, Club Farallones) and Pereira and the Coffee Region (Club Campestre Pereira, Manizales and Armenia). The "best" city depends on whether you prioritize ocean views (Cartagena), a temperate mountain climate (Medellín, Pereira), or city convenience (Bogotá, Cali).

What are the best places to play golf in Colombia?
For an ocean-view, internationally designed course, Cartagena's Karibana stands out. For a year-round mild climate and multiple courses in one trip, Medellín and the surrounding Rionegro area are excellent.

Why book a Colombia golf trip through Colombian Golf Trips?

Booking directly with a golf club may seem like the easiest option, but in Colombia the best golf courses are private, then access must be restricted only for members and it is not always the most convenient or cost-effective choice for international visitors.

Colombian Golf Trips works directly with many of Colombia's most prestigious golf clubs and has built long-term relationships that allow us to simplify the entire booking process for golfers traveling from abroad. Thanks to the large number of international players we serve every year, we are often able to offer more competitive package pricing than travelers can obtain on their own, especially when transportation, golf club rental, caddies, carts, and additional services are included.

Unlike booking with a single golf club, we also compare availability across multiple courses, recommend the best options based on your travel dates and playing preferences, coordinate transportation, monitor your reservations, and provide English-speaking assistance before, during, and after your trip.

Another important advantage is reliability. Every reservation is personally confirmed by our local team with the golf club, helping minimize misunderstandings, language barriers, or last-minute surprises.

Our goal is simple: to make playing golf in Colombia as easy, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible from the moment you contact us until your final round.

Do I Need to Be a Member or a Guest of the Conrad to Play at Karibana?

No. In most cases, international visitors do not need to be members of Karibana or guests of the Conrad Cartagena to play the course. The easiest and most reliable way to access tee times is through a local golf operator with established relationships at the club.

At Colombian Golf Trips, we help golfers from around the world reserve tee times at Karibana without the hassle of navigating local procedures. We also coordinate every aspect of your golf day, including private transportation, premium club rentals, golf carts, caddies, and bilingual assistance from start to finish.

Because tee time availability can vary depending on tournaments, maintenance schedules, and club events, we recommend booking as early as possible. Our local team confirms availability and manages the reservation process, giving you peace of mind before you arrive in Cartagena.

Whether you're staying at the Conrad Cartagena, another hotel, or arriving on a cruise, Colombian Golf Trips makes playing Karibana simple, convenient, and stress-free. Need help booking your round? Contact Colombian Golf Trips today and let our local golf specialists organize your complete Karibana experience.

The cost of playing at Karibana Golf Club in 2026 depends on the season, day of the week, and current club policies. Green fees may vary, and many visitors are surprised to discover that the total cost of their golf day depends on much more than the course itself.

As a specialized golf tour operator, Colombian Golf Trips is often able to offer pricing that is equal to—or even better than—booking each service separately.

Why are Colombian Golf Trips and Golf in Medellin often more affordable than booking directly with golf clubs or other agencies?

Many golfers are surprised to discover that booking through Colombian Golf Trips can sometimes cost less than booking directly with the golf club.

This is possible because we work with several partner clubs, maintain long-term commercial agreements, operate our own golf equipment in many destinations, and organize a high volume of golf experiences throughout the year. These relationships allow us to negotiate preferential conditions that individual travelers generally cannot access.

Instead of simply reselling tee times, we build complete golf experiences that combine transportation, equipment, local coordination, and personalized service into one package. In many cases, these efficiencies allow us to offer outstanding value while providing a smoother and more convenient experience.

Our priority is always to recommend the option that delivers the best overall experience—not simply the lowest price.

Why do golfers trust Colombian Golf Trips instead of booking directly with the golf club?

Golfers choose Colombian Golf Trips because we provide much more than a tee time.

Can I save money by booking multiple golf rounds in Colombia?

Yes. Many golfers save money by booking several rounds through Colombian Golf Trips instead of arranging each tee time separately. Thanks to our partnerships with private golf clubs, negotiated rates, and our own golf equipment at several destinations, we can often create customized golf packages that offer better overall value. Multi-city itineraries combining Medellín, Cartagena, Bogotá, Cali, or Pereira are especially popular among visiting golfers.

Why do many U.S. golfers choose Colombian Golf Trips?

Is golf expensive in Colombia?

Golf in Colombia offers excellent value compared to many popular golf destinations such as the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Europe. While prices vary depending on the golf club and city, visitors can enjoy championship courses, private club access, transportation, golf club rental, caddies, golf carts, and personalized service at a fraction of what similar experiences often cost elsewhere.

At Colombian Golf Trips, our all-inclusive golf packages typically start from USD $280 per golfer, depending on the destination and services selected. Our packages usually include your tee time reservation, green fee, hotel round-trip transportation, quality golf club rental, practice balls, caddie or golf cart (depending on the club), bilingual concierge assistance before and during your trip, and local support from the moment you book until your final round.

Thanks to our long-term partnerships with several private golf clubs, negotiated agreements, and our own golf equipment in many destinations, we are often able to offer more competitive pricing than travelers can obtain on their own while delivering a far more convenient and personalized experience.

Rather than comparing only the green fee, we recommend comparing the complete golf experience. When transportation, equipment, local coordination, bilingual assistance, and personalized service are included, Colombia offers one of the best golf vacation values in the Americas.

Is Colombia good for a golf vacation?

Absolutely. Colombia has become one of Latin America's most exciting golf destinations thanks to its year-round playing weather, spectacular mountain and oceanfront courses, welcoming private clubs, and affordable luxury experiences.

Whether you want to play beside the Caribbean Sea in Cartagena, enjoy championship golf surrounded by the Andes in Medellín, or discover historic clubs in Bogotá, Colombia offers a unique combination of world-class golf and unforgettable travel experiences.

Colombian Golf Trips specializes in helping international golfers experience the country's best private clubs with everything arranged before they arrive.

Is Colombia safe for golf tourists?

Yes. Every year thousands of international visitors travel safely throughout Colombia to enjoy golf, sightseeing, and cultural experiences. Like any destination, choosing experienced local operators, reliable transportation, and well-planned itineraries makes the experience even smoother.

At Colombian Golf Trips, we personally coordinate transportation, tee times, bilingual assistance, and local logistics, allowing our guests to focus entirely on enjoying their golf vacation without unnecessary concerns.

Can I play golf without bringing my own clubs?

Yes. Bringing your own clubs is completely optional.

Colombian Golf Trips offers quality golf club rental at most destinations, allowing travelers to avoid airline baggage fees and the inconvenience of transporting equipment. Our rental sets are carefully maintained and suitable for recreational golfers as well as experienced players.

If you prefer, you are also welcome to bring your own clubs.

How many golf courses are there in Colombia?

Colombia has more than 50 golf courses located throughout the country, including private clubs, resort courses, and public facilities. Many of the country's finest courses are private and normally require member access or an authorized booking partner.

Colombian Golf Trips provides access to many of Colombia's most prestigious golf clubs in destinations including Medellín, Cartagena, Bogotá, Cali, Pereira, and other major cities.

What is the best month to play golf in Colombia?

One of Colombia's greatest advantages is that golf can be played throughout the entire year.

Because Colombia is located near the equator, temperatures remain relatively stable regardless of the season. The best travel dates often depend more on your vacation schedule than on the weather.

While occasional rain showers can occur in some regions, golf is played year-round, and our team can recommend the best destinations based on current seasonal conditions.

Can beginners play at Karibana?

Absolutely. Karibana welcomes golfers of all skill levels.

Although it is a championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus, multiple tee boxes allow beginners, intermediate players, and experienced golfers to enjoy the course comfortably.

If you are visiting Cartagena and want to experience one of Colombia's most spectacular golf courses, Karibana offers an unforgettable experience regardless of your handicap.

Should I hire a caddie?

In many Colombian private golf clubs, caddies are either required or highly recommended.

Beyond carrying your clubs, local caddies provide valuable course knowledge, green reading, pace-of-play assistance, and help create a more enjoyable golf experience.

Colombian Golf Trips includes or arranges caddie services according to each club's policies, so visitors never have to worry about local requirements.

Do golf clubs accept credit cards?

Most golf clubs in Colombia accept major international credit cards for purchases such as food, beverages, and pro shop merchandise.

However, some clubs prefer cash for tipping caddies or purchasing small items. We recommend carrying a small amount of Colombian pesos for convenience.

Our team will gladly explain the payment options available at each golf club before your visit.

Do I need cash for caddies?

In many Colombian private golf clubs, yes. While some clubs allow caddie fees or gratuities to be paid by credit card, cash tips in Colombian Pesos (COP) are still the most common and appreciated method. U.S. Dollars (USD) are also welcomed by many caddies.

When you book with Colombian Golf Trips, your mandatory caddie fee is already included whenever the golf club requires a caddie, which is the case at most private clubs in Colombia. The only exceptions are clubs that do not offer caddie services. If you would like to reward your caddie for excellent service, you are welcome to provide an additional gratuity in cash (COP or USD), or, for your convenience, we can also help you process the tip through us.

One of the advantages of booking with Colombian Golf Trips is that we work closely with the clubs to help secure experienced, professional caddies whenever possible. Some of them also speak English, making the experience even more enjoyable for international golfers.

It is worth noting that caddies are generally not employees of the golf clubs. Most are young local men who participate in caddie programs supported by the clubs, where they receive training, mentorship, and the opportunity to earn an income. Many have developed impressive golfing skills through these programs, with some achieving handicaps as low as 4, demonstrating an excellent knowledge of the game and the golf courses they work on.

As with any destination, we recommend protecting your personal information. While caddies are generally honest, hardworking, and an important part of the Colombian golf experience, we suggest avoiding the sharing of personal phone numbers, financial information, or other sensitive data. If you need assistance before, during, or after your round, the Colombian Golf Trips team will always be available to help.

Before your golf day, Colombian Golf Trips provides detailed information about recommended gratuities, payment options, and each club's caddie policies, so you know exactly what to expect before arriving at the course.

Can I play 36 holes in one day?

Yes, at many golf clubs it is possible to play 36 holes, depending on tee time availability and the club's daily schedule and could have an extra charge.

If playing two rounds is part of your golf vacation, we recommend mentioning it when booking so we can secure appropriate tee times and organize your transportation accordingly.

Can my wife accompany me if she doesn't play golf?

Absolutely.

Non-playing companions are welcome at many golf clubs with an extra charge and can often enjoy the clubhouse, restaurants, or surrounding facilities while golfers are on the course. Policies vary by club, so we confirm these details before your visit.

We can also recommend sightseeing, shopping, spa experiences in the city, or private tours while you enjoy your round.

Can non-golfers enter private golf clubs?

In many cases, yes, although access policies vary from one club to another.

Some clubs allow non-playing guests to enjoy restaurants, terraces, or common areas, while others restrict access during certain events or member activities.

Colombian Golf Trips confirms each club's visitor policies before your reservation so you know exactly what to expect and how much will be charged.

Can children play golf in Colombia?

Yes. Many golf clubs in Colombia welcome junior golfers, although minimum age requirements and playing policies may vary.

If you are traveling as a family, we can recommend the most suitable clubs and tee times to ensure an enjoyable experience for golfers of all ages.

Is there a dress code?

Yes. Like most private golf clubs around the world, Colombian golf clubs enforce a strict dress code that all players are required to follow.

Players are generally expected to wear collared golf shirts, golf shorts or trousers, and golf shoes or appropriate athletic footwear, depending on each club's specific policies. Jeans, sleeveless shirts for men, swimwear, athletic gym clothing, and flip-flops are generally not permitted on the course. Please note that dress code requirements may vary slightly from one club to another.

Before your golf day, Colombian Golf Trips will provide you with the specific dress code for the club you will be visiting, including detailed information and reference images showing exactly what is and is not permitted. We strongly recommend reviewing these guidelines carefully before your round.

It is the golfer's responsibility to comply with the club's dress code. Failure to arrive with the required attire may result in the golf club refusing access to the course. In these situations, the golf club will not issue a refund, and Colombian Golf Trips will not be able to provide reimbursement, as admission policies are established and enforced exclusively by each golf club.

Can I smoke on the golf course?

Smoking policies vary between golf clubs.

While many clubs allow smoking in outdoor areas of the course, others restrict smoking near clubhouses, practice facilities, restaurants, or certain common areas.

We recommend following each club's specific policies to ensure an enjoyable experience for all players.

What is the weather like for golf in Colombia?

Colombia enjoys one of the world's most favorable climates for year-round golf.

Unlike destinations with cold winters or extreme summer heat, most Colombian golf destinations maintain comfortable playing temperatures throughout the year. Medellín is known as the "City of Eternal Spring," Cartagena offers warm Caribbean weather, while Bogotá provides cooler mountain conditions.

Our team can recommend the best destination based on your preferred climate and travel dates.

Do golf courses close because of rain?

Most golf courses in Colombia remain open during light or moderate rain, as brief tropical showers are a normal part of the local climate.

Temporary delays may occur during heavy rain or electrical storms to ensure player safety, but complete course closures are relatively uncommon.

Some golf clubs offer a Rain Check policy. If weather conditions prevent you from completing at least nine holes, the club may allow you to reschedule your remaining round for another day, subject to each club's specific policies and tee time availability. If you are unable to return on another day, please note that golf clubs generally do not provide refunds for unused rounds due to weather.

Based on our experience organizing golf vacations and playing regularly throughout Colombia, most rain showers last between 30 minutes and one hour, after which golfers are usually able to continue their round. For your convenience, our rental golf bags always include an umbrella, allowing you to keep playing comfortably whenever conditions permit.

We strongly recommend asking us in advance whether the golf club you will be playing offers a Rain Check policy, as this varies from club to club. Colombian Golf Trips will always explain the specific conditions before your golf day so you know exactly what to expect. If weather conditions affect your scheduled round, we will work directly with the golf club to coordinate the best available solution whenever possible.
