Frank Spitzer — Your Golf Expert in Cartagena

I’m Swiss, born and raised in Zurich. After 20 years in finance, I came to Colombia in 2015 and founded Pelecanus — the only IAGTO member tour operator in Colombia specializing in golf tourism, and the only one with managed access to virtually all private clubs in the country.

Cartagena’s golf scene combines Caribbean beach resort golf with historic colonial culture. The region features world-class courses including the former TPC Cartagena at Karibana (designed by Jack Nicklaus), the award-winning Lagos de Caujaral (Joe Lee design, WGA 2024), and the classic Club Campestre de Cartagena.

I’ve played every course in the region personally and built direct relationships with each club over eight years. When you book with us, you get access and local knowledge that no other operator can provide.

I speak German, Swiss German, English, Spanish, and French — serving golfers from across Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
