Santa Marta - 9 stops - par 31
Santa Marta is the setting for this round, where the ball rolls across the actual city streets. The holes are built from real attractions, ending at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. This quick 9-hole round covers 6.8 km with a par of 31. Skip is a local guide who knows every curb and cobblestone, even if a few crumbs occasionally distract the view.
The course is drawn on the real street grid, so the map you play is the map you walk.
Drag to aim, release to swing. Buildings bounce and water costs you a stroke.
Every hole ends at an attraction. Sink the putt, read the story, walk to the next tee.
The Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is an hacienda, also known as a quinta, that was built in 1608. Today, it is a museum located in the corregimiento of Mamatoco within the tourist district of Santa Marta. This site is a significant stop for any visitor because it is where Simón Bolívar died on December 17, 1830. Because of its history and preservation, the property is part of the National Monuments of Colombia. I always find the layout of these old estates fascinating to look at from above. You can see how the grounds were designed for both production and residence long before the city grew around it. It is a place where the architecture tells a story of an older era in Colombia.
