Highest La Paz


 


Highest La Paz, Bolivia – La Paz is situated at an altitude of 3’600 meters,
the shortage of oxygen is compensated by playing with your head in the clouds.
This 18 hole golf course, par 71 has its highest hole at an altitude of 3’342 meters
and its lowest at 3’277 meters.

A private club with a most testing layout, no room for error. The altitude causes some strange things to happen. It is unlikely I will ever hit the ball as far again, a 4 iron at a 230 yds par 3 that went through the green - Deep joy!  The altitude caused me to feel somewhat breathless, but the stunning scenery was amongst the most wonderful backdrop to any course in the world. It is a course I am determined to revisit for a couple of days and play again and again. Wonderful.
