About this course

Mapaizo Golf Club is located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia's largest city and economic center in the eastern lowlands. The course sits within the region's tropical landscape, characterized by relatively flat terrain typical of the Santa Cruz department. As one of the established golf facilities in Bolivia, Mapaizo serves the local golfing community and visiting players in a country where golf remains a niche sport with limited public course infrastructure. The club reflects the character common to golf developments in South American interior cities: a private membership model serving expatriate and affluent local players. The course layout takes advantage of the flat, open terrain of the region, with design informed by the local climate of high heat and seasonal rainfall patterns. The setting incorporates native vegetation and water features adapted to the tropical lowland environment, creating conditions distinct from higher-altitude Andean courses found elsewhere in Bolivia. Mapaizo functions primarily as a members' club and social venue rather than a tournament destination of regional or international significance. The facility typically offers dining and social amenities alongside the golf course, reflecting the club culture common to private facilities in Santa Cruz. The course provides a recreational outlet for the city's golf-playing population and serves as a venue for local competitions and member events.

Getting there

# Getting There

Mapaizo Golf Club sits in the verdant lowlands of eastern Bolivia, most readily accessed via Viru Viru International Airport (VVI) in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, roughly forty minutes north by car through the region's characteristic blend of savanna and emerging urban sprawl. The drive south from the airport traces a gentle descent into the club's private grounds, where the landscape softens into manicured fairways set against the distant rise of the Andes foothills and the lush subtropical vegetation that defines this corner of South America. For those arriving by private aircraft, Santa Cruz's general aviation facilities provide an alternative entry point, though the main international gateway remains the primary conduit for most visitors traveling to this exclusive Bolivian retreat. The final approach to Mapaizo unfolds as a quiet transition from the bustle of the city into the serene, well-appointed grounds of one of South America's most discerning golf destinations.
