About this course

Golf & Country Club de Trujillo sits in the coastal city of Trujillo in northern Peru's La Libertad region, roughly 550 kilometers north of Lima. The club serves the country's third-largest metropolitan area, a commercial and agricultural center known for its colonial architecture and proximity to pre-Columbian archaeological sites including Chan Chan. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of Peru's coastal desert plain, where the climate remains mild and dry throughout the year with minimal rainfall. The layout reflects the development of golf infrastructure in provincial Peruvian cities during the mid-to-late twentieth century, when clubs were established to serve local business communities and expatriate populations connected to agriculture, mining, and industry. The course features the kind of straightforward parkland design common to South American country clubs of this era, with fairways defined by mature trees and modest bunkering. Water features may come into play on selected holes, drawing from irrigation systems necessary to maintain turf in the arid coastal environment. The club functions as a social and recreational center for Trujillo's established families and professionals, offering dining facilities and amenities beyond golf. The membership reflects the traditional country club model prevalent in Latin America, where golf is one component of broader family and business networking. The course provides a playing option for visitors to northern Peru, though it remains primarily oriented toward local membership rather than destination golf tourism.

Getting there

The journey to Golf & Country Club de Trujillo begins at Capitán FAP Carlos Martínez de Pinillos International Airport (TRU), positioned just minutes from Peru's northern coastal capital. From the terminal, a brief transfer westward through Trujillo's sprawling urban grid gives way to the club's tranquil grounds, set against the arid, sun-bleached landscape characteristic of La Libertad's Pacific corridor. For those traveling from Lima, the hour-long flight north offers a compelling alternative to the eight-hour coastal drive, delivering guests swiftly to this oasis of green amid one of Peru's most historically rich yet climatically stark regions.
