Los Inkas Golf Club
There are four 18-hole courses in the capital city of Lima: Lima Golf Club (founded in 1924), Country Club de Villa (1957), Country Club de la Planicie (1962) and Los Inkas, formed in 1945. Incredibly, it is estimated that between the four clubs, there are less than one thousand active golfers!
Los Inkas Golf Club lies in the foothills of the Andes in the south east of the capital, near Lima University and the Monterrico Jockey Club. The 6,475-yard Los Incas could be considered a South American-links type golf course because of its playing condition. It features pre-Inca ruins which run alongside four holes but they are not the only unusual items to be found on and around the fairways.
It is said that a former World Wildlife Fund president who lived nearby allowed rare, albino squirrels to escape from cages and golfers can now spy the offspring of these frisky white rodents in the trees lining the fairways at Los Inkas!
