About The Area
Puerto Colombia is a relaxed Caribbean base for a golf holiday near Barranquilla, combining tropical golf with beaches, seafood and an important piece of Colombian maritime history. The town lies around 18 kilometres from central Barranquilla, while Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport is roughly 25–35 kilometres away depending on the route. Private transfers are recommended when travelling with golf clubs.
The main golfing attraction is Club Lagos de Caujaral, located on the road between Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia. Its 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Joseph Lee and is arranged around extensive lakes, tropical vegetation and naturally varied terrain. Water frequently influences play, while coastal breezes, bunkering and strategic approach shots create one of northern Colombia’s most demanding rounds. The course has also hosted the Caribbean Golf Open since 1972.
Lagos de Caujaral is a private, member-focused club, so guest access, tee times, caddies, club hire and transport should all be arranged before travelling. We recommend early tee times, when temperatures are generally more comfortable and the rest of the day remains free for the coast or Barranquilla.
Away from golf, Puerto Colombia’s historic pier was once one of Colombia’s main gateways to the world. Today, visitors can walk along the seafront, explore colourful murals and enjoy views of the remaining pier structure. Other local landmarks include Castillo de Salgar and La Ventana de Sueños, a striking 70-metre lighthouse overlooking the Caribbean.
Nearby beaches include Pradomar and Sabanilla, while waterfront restaurants serve ceviche, fried or grilled fish, plantain and fresh tropical juices. Puerto Colombia works especially well as part of a carefully organised Barranquilla golf break, offering championship golf by day and Caribbean food, sea breezes and memorable sunsets after the round
