Welcome Time Magazine Readers
Thanks for coming to the Amazon Golf Course Blog from the article Amazon Golf: Where Water Hazard Means Piranhas in Time Magazine, writen by Lucien Chauvin . I know you are savvy about blogs and the internet or you wouldn’t be here, because Time didn’t give us a link, and your here anyway. Your smart, but there is a lot on the Amazon Golf Course Blog, and I want to take a second to show you around.
First of all, if you like what you see here, subscribe to the blog, by clicking the Entries RSS feed in the right side column, or bookmark us to your favorites, and come back soon for our new posts. Until then, here is a list of live links to posts I don’t want you to miss;
Welsh Golfer Makes The Cut At Amazon Golf Course; He was told not to retrieve balls from the water hazards, that the piranhas were dangerous, but he didn’t listen…Why didn’t he listen? We hope this does not happen to you.;
Golfing Amazon Style, From The Fringe; “We always, always tell golfers not to retrieve balls from the water traps unless they really are intent on feeding the local wildlife”.
Easter Resurrection Of The Amazon Golf Course; I wish you could have stood with Marmeltia and I looking up the lane through the Hibiscus, and Heliconia, to the clubhouse and felt what we felt. What a change in just 11 months.
The Clubhouse Is Painted And Trimmed, Dec. 5th 2009; We do actually have a clubhouse and it’s nice to hang in the hammocks in the shade from the observation deck and look out over the beautiful golf course.
How The Amazon Golf Course Looked Thursday November 5th; It was bound to happen sooner or later. Both weedeaters were broken down waiting for parts for two weeks, and the push mower needed repair last week. It is a jungle out there, and difficult to keep up even when the equipment works. Imagine taking care of a 24 acre golf course with just two weed eaters and a push mower. It’s quite a job.
The Amazon Golf Course, November 12, 2009; I like to sit on the top floor of the Amazon Golf Course clubhouse and watch the trees grow.
Here Are Some Of What I Saw At The Amazon Golf Course, November 14; I give full credit to our hardworking crew. Today all of our full time crew signed contracts giving them health insurance, and a retirement fund. Most of them got pay raises, and all of them make at least minimum wage.
I’m glad you came and I hope you found your visit interesting, and that you will be inspired to come play a round of adventure golf with us at the Amazon Golf Course in Iquitos Peru.

I did find the blog after reading the Time article. I had heard Iquitos had a course when I was there in April. No time to check you out, but i am planning on returning soon and would love to play a round. I see you don´t have a lot of amenities, but assume you can provide the basics; club rentals and cold Cuzqueñas?
yes the amenities are excellent, I certainly agree here
