The course at Ruitoque Golf & Country Club is situated to the south of Bucaramanga – the "Ciudad de los Parques" (City of the Parks) – and it lies within a massive 1,250-acre gated community, high atop a plateau that overlooks the surrounding area.
Back in the mid-1990s, this was Nicklaus Design’s first Colombian golf project and the Golden Bear assigned architect Chett Williams to route the holes (with Jerry Pierman actually constructing the fairways) around a substantial number of residential properties.
Chosen to co-host a Tour de Las Americas event in 2009 and host to the 2014 Colombian Open, the course offers a particularly strong set of five short holes, the most challenging of which is undoubtedly the 196-yard 13th, where the green is one of only a few that are set behind water on the course.
Visitors should be aware that caddies are mandatory at Ruitoque. There’s also an executive 9-hole floodlit course available for golfers who wish to continue to play after the sun goes down.

Jack Nicklaus will forever be associated with greatness on the golf course, but it’s his design work that should also be remembered in equal measure to his magnificent competitive achievements on the links.
