El Penon Golf Course

My home course in Colombia

El Peñón is a private community course and access is limited. Always in outstanding condition and never crowded. Extensive used of bermuda on the fairways make it very plush and always soft. Most fairways are wide with the 18 hole being the most challenging. Not playing well on 18 can ruin your round. Love this course!

9 hole course, not great but fun

This course is maintained as an amenity at a military resort, not the main attraction so condition vary. I was stationed nearby and played it regularly with decent to combat golf conditions at times. The course does not have irrigation and not a permanent grounds crew so it could be bad at times. The layout is not well designed and some holes are almost impossible to tee off without obstructions. If you play here you can play anywhere.

Outstanding!

As always, the course was in excellent condition. Nice plush fairways and the greens, even though had fertilized green paint on them, were soft and fast. Not a lot of people playing on a Friday at 11, and the temperature was bearable because of the breeze. Love to play this course, good thing is too far for most San Antonio golfers so locals can enjoy a first rate course for a great price and in excellent conditions. The snack bar could offer better food but the golf makes up for it.

Course in poor condition

I played Canyon Springs 4 March and I’m glad I got a Golf Now Hot Deal for $39. The course is still in winter mode and the greens were in terrible condition. Lots of fungus and they seeded or were treating the fungus and the greens were terrible. I’m not sure why they don’t let people know before they go out to play that the course is not up to speed. The course layout is excellent with changes in elevations and rolling greens. There is hardly any water hazards and the roughs were in winter shape; completely unkept. If the greens recover in the spring this course have the potential to be a great local public course. Right now is at municipal course level at best, not worth the premium price they are asking for the green fees. For this price range The Quarry or Valeer Creek are much better choices .

Another good course in Bogota

The course was re-done after a flood in 2012 and it is in outstanding condition. Some holes were completely changed and now presents a more challenging course. Water hazards are all around the course, specially the approach on 18 is brutal. Not too many elevation changes , fairway bunkers, or awkward dog legs make the course playable but challenging. It plays very long, it took solid four hours to play. Good challenging club, but still short of the benchmark for courses in Bogota: Club Los Lagartos.

Great course, well kept and challenging

The course is in spectacular condition. Challenging but not impossible for amateur players. It is another private club in Bogota, so access is limited.

Outstanding course

This was the last course I had to play in Bogota and it was worth the wait. It is a long course, well over 7,000 yds. The course is meticulously maintained, nice and soft fairways, groomed bunkers, and soft, ondulating fast greens. Some water but in my opinion it does not affect play that much unless you are having a really bad day. Elevation changes, well placed bunkers and natural hazards make the course challenging but enjoyable. It is a private club, so you will need to know a member or a resident to play it or if there is a tournament. Second best course in Bogota after Los Lagartos.

Best course in Colombia, but private and inaccessible

Scott Miller redesigned this course in 2012 and a gem was born. This is hands down the best, most scenic course in Colombia. The course have rolling hills, elevation changes, two level super fast greens, plenty of water, dog legs, and deep fluffy bunkers. The course conditions are top notch, flowers, water falls, panoramic views of the city are 50% of the enjoyment. This is a private course and it is jealously guarded by the club members. I played a rarely accessible charity tournament, otherwise it is members only. If you know a member or a diplomat you may have access to it otherwise you may be able to play the other club course, the Korea course. Great course, great club facilities reserved for members only.
