What a treat to play Los Inkas Golf Club in Lima, Peru! Founded in 1945 by Peruvians with a mission to learn, enjoy and grow the game of golf in their native land. Having played there and attended a junior golf clinic there I would have to say “mission accomplished” and still going almost 70 years later. With the ruins of ancient Inka civilizations on site and exposed for all to see, playing Los Inkas Golf Club not only has a historic golf feel but a historic world civilization feel too. Special thanks go out to my hosts Golf Instructor Pablo Dupliex, Golf Superintendent John McGee and Member Jocy Robio. I had so much fun meeting them and others, especially the junior golfers and Rocio, Vicky and Debbie!
