The vibe

Known as the highest 18-hole golf course in the world, this unique layout offers a challenging experience at over 3,300 meters above sea level. The thin air significantly increases ball flight distance, providing a surreal experience for golfers set against the dramatic backdrop of the Andes mountains.
Access. Located in the Mallasilla district, it is easily accessible by taxi or private car from central La Paz. It is a private club that welcomes visitors who book in advance.
Notes. High altitude requires physical acclimatization; expect significant distance gains on shots. Dress code is standard golf attire.
