It is great to see you building a golf course and encouraging the Peruvian people to play. Although we are not in the jungle our club is also a labour of love for our Members and they also derive a great deal of satisfaction from building bunkers , tees and water features as we continue to develop from a very modest beginning. I guess there the similarity ends as our wildlife is no more dangerous than the Canadian Geese, Hares or the odd Buzzard !
Keep up the good work , I will show our Members your course details on our TV display in the lounge.

Hello Amazon Golfers,
Strangely enough I have a very dear friend who lives in Toronto whose nephew is married to a lady from Peru and my friend was at the wedding in Peru last year.He is a very keen golfer but did not golf in Peru .
Best of luck with your efforts.
Did you approach the R&A for assistance?

Good to hear your news and to view the website.
In my previous incarnation when I travelled the globe over 21 years I enjoyed golf in some strange places including:
Philippines, Hong Kong, Seychelles, Malawi, Zaire (D R of Congo), Florida, Grenada, Guyana, France and Portugal
Kilspindie enjoys reciprocal arrangements with Hong Kong Golf Club and Oporto Golf Club
Next time I am across the water I might just pop in to say “hello”!
Kind regards

This is great stuff & congrats on getting it all accomplished –wonderful story. I hope you don’t mind but I’m going to share it with some of my associates in the golf business up here in Canada – I think they’ll find it as interesting as I do.
Have a great golf season.

I had a look at your website and must admit it looks like a real adventure!
Having been an expat myself (South East Asia for 6 years), it reminds me of a course that I ran in the Borneo Highlands called Hornbill Golf and Jungle Club…..albeit a bit more luxurious than the Amazon Golf Course!
Happy Golfing!
Regards,
Mark
Congratulations on your achievement – I hope the R & A helped fund it but if not you may find they would be willing to fund (or at least help to fund) any extensions or improvements.
If I ever visit Peru I shall certainly pay you a visit.

Greetings from Roundwood Golf Club in Ireland.
There must be a great sense of achievement to such a project.
I know our course has matured considerably and is much better
than first envisaged so I hope your course will be likewise
I envy you the growth capabilities you have in Peru so no doubt the course will reach its full potential at an earlier stage.
May we wish you all the best and maybe the next time you are in Wicklow you will come and visit. Sadly I don’t see myself being in your neck of the woods.
Keep up the good work,
Kind regards
Michael Mc Guirk
Congratulation! We are always happy to hear about new golf courses- even if they are very far from us!
It is 11th year anniversary this Jully for our golf course and we were the pioniers and even still not so many golfers are here in Latvia- we are here and serve them as good as it possible.
From time 1998 we have lot of changes here- new club house. Driving range with covered hitting area, high quality of the course.
And who knows- maybe one day some of us will visit your course too. I really wish you big succes!
