Golf In the Tropics

Viewed from the first tee of any one of these 50 extraordinary links, Colombia is a paradise of golf courses. World class designers have situated courses in Andean plateaus more than 6500 feet above sea level; in the hardwood forests of the coffee-growing highlands, and on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts where the fairaways are bordered with exotic flora. In a country without seasons, the sport can be played every day of the year and on every kind of grass.

This book gives a detailed look at courses in each part of the country, most near destination cities as affordable for North Americans as Florida and Arizona are. These photographs introduce a subtle, exotic golfer's Eden, an ideal landscape, a perennial flowering season and a constant tropical climate. Useful information about yardage, pars and other features are also included, together with diagrams of each course.
