Located in the capital, the course reflects the sporting traditions of Caracas's elite and has served as a venue for significant regional competitions over decades.

Getting there
Most international travelers arrive via Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, roughly an hour's drive north along the Caribbean coast before the ascent into the capital begins. The journey inland climbs steadily through the lush Avila mountain range, transitioning from tropical lowland to the cooler, more temperate valley where Caracas sits at nearly 3,000 feet. As the highway gives way to the city's eastern residential districts, the route narrows into tree-lined avenues that lead to Caracas Country Club - a verdant, meticulously maintained enclave that has stood as the social and sporting heart of Venezuela's elite since 1918.
