Specifically, how prevalent is the game of golf in Ecuador? 🙂

There was another post on this forum about golf — one of the earliest threads. If you go back and read that, you’ll see a list of golf courses. In Ecuador, they are all private courses and they’re near the major cities and largest population bases: Quito and Guayaquil. And there’s a 9-hole in Cuenca, I believe. Golf is for the wealthier people in Ecuador, but I understand the courses here are very nice. And your drive will go much farther in the rarified air at a high elevation — a plus, perhaps…

Bill, not so much. For instance here in Cuenca there is only one private 9 hole course, and if you’re an avid golfer you wouldn’t call it outstanding. There are more opportunities in the larger cities of Quito and Guayaquil, but the low per capita income of Ecuador doesn’t support a plethora of choices.
