There are several fine courses in Colombia but the most famous is EI Rincon, located on the eastern outskirts of Bogotá. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1953, when he was gaining international prominence, on an open plain spotted with eucalyptus and pines near the Bogotá River. Jones planted numerous trees, seeded the fairways with kikuyu grass, and used the natural depressions to create lakes, so that water comes into play on 11 of the 18 holes. Jones also took into account the effect of the altitude in increasing the flight of the ball, since Bogotá is situated in the eastern range of the Andes, stretching the course to over 7,500 yards. The course has changed little over the years, except that the order of the two nines has been reversed, and Jones revised the par-three seventh to make it more closely resemble his famous par-three fourth over the water at Baltusrol. In 1980, EI Rincon hosted the World Cup won by the Canadian pairing of Dan Halldorson and Jim Nelford.
