San Andrés Golf Club
Funza
San Andrés Golf Club is a historic private golf club in Funza, on the western side of Bogotá. Founded in 1945, it is one of Colombia’s oldest and most traditional clubs, with a peaceful setting on the Bogotá savanna and a strong Scottish influence that can also be seen in its distinctive clubhouse.
The main 18-hole course is a par 72 measuring approximately 7,145 yards from the championship tees. It was created under the direction of celebrated architects Stanley Thompson and Robert Trent Jones Sr, with a design inspired by the traditions of The Old Course at St Andrews. Despite that inspiration, today’s layout has the appearance of a mature parkland course, with tall trees forming tight playing corridors around many holes.
Accuracy is more important than simply hitting the ball a long way. Narrow fairways, strategic bunkers and mature trees can quickly punish a wayward drive, while several water hazards bring extra pressure to approach shots. The par-four 11th is one of the standout holes, with water running along the left side from the tee towards the green.
San Andrés sits at roughly 2,600 metres above sea level. The thinner air means golf balls generally travel farther than they would at sea level, so visiting golfers may need to adjust their usual club choices. Open conditions on the savanna can also allow the wind to influence the course, adding another layer of strategy despite the relatively flat ground.
Alongside the championship course, the club has a nine-hole short course designed for practising accurate approaches and delicate shots around small greens. Facilities also include a golf academy, a large driving range and short-game practice areas. The wider country club offers dining, tennis, swimming, squash and equestrian facilities.
At Hashtag Golf Travel, we recommend San Andrés Golf Club for golfers looking to experience one of Colombia’s classic course designs. As it is a private members’ club, visitor access should be arranged before travelling, normally through a reciprocal club, golf tour operator or organised event.

About The Area
Funza is a convenient base for a golf holiday on the western side of the Bogotá Savannah, combining high-altitude parkland golf with quick access to Colombia’s capital. El Dorado International Airport is around 14 kilometres away by road, although journey times can vary with traffic. We recommend arranging private transfers, particularly when travelling with golf clubs.
The main attraction is San Andrés Golf Club, whose country site is located in Funza. Its 18-hole, par-72 course features mature trees, carefully positioned bunkers and water hazards that become increasingly influential across the back nine. The peaceful parkland surroundings feel far removed from central Bogotá, while the high-altitude setting means well-struck shots may travel farther than golfers expect.
Nearby Serrezuela Country Club in Mosquera provides another strong championship option. Its 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to more than 7,300 yards from the back tees, creating a substantial test for lower-handicap players while several tee positions make it manageable for mixed golfing groups. Serrezuela was named Colombia’s Best Golf Course at the 2025 World Golf Awards.
Both venues are member-focused clubs, so guest access, tee times, caddies, equipment hire and handicap requirements should be confirmed before travelling. This is a destination where organising the golf properly in advance makes all the difference.
Away from the fairways, La Florida Regional Park and wetland offers walking and birdwatching within the Bogotá Savannah. The habitat supports resident and migratory birds, including species associated with the region’s high-altitude wetlands.
Central Bogotá remains close enough for days or evenings exploring La Candelaria, museums, restaurants and the city’s lively neighbourhoods. Funza therefore works best as part of a tailor-made Bogotá golf itinerary, offering convenient airport access, two notable nearby courses and quieter surroundings outside the capital.
