It all started on September 1st. of 1957 when a group of young men, most of them under the age of thirty, decided to form a golf Club that possessed an excellent golf course and could be used as a meeting place with their friends. This group was made up of Emilio Pizano, Camilo Samper, Bernardo Saiz, Alvaro Samper, Julio Ortega, Alberto Vargas, Roberto Pradilla and Jorge Castello.

With this in mind, they did not want to build the Club in just any place, so they started searching for the best spot throughout the Bogotá savanna. On one of those days, a close friend and future Club member, Octavio Restrepo, told them about 87 and a half acres of land, located in Cajicá, that were going to be auctioned. They looked and it definitely was the place they were looking for. After obtaining the necessary amount of money and overcoming incredible obstacles, they purchased it. The amount paid was $ 1,698 pesos per acre.

This land included a house, which was later on, under the supervision of Camilo Samper, transformed in to the member's meeting place. This house still exists and in it there exists a Foundation called "Casa Vieja" to help the needs of the region. In the rest of the land, they constructed the first nine golf holes. Over the next few years, more land was purchased to eventually complete the total area that makes up the Club.

By holding family picnics, and convincing their best friends of their dream they managed to have a group large enough to hold their first assembly which took place on October 15, 1958. By that date the Club had 79 members. Emilio Pizano De Brigard was elected president and Julio Ortega Samper, vice-president. A special anecdote, was the fact that during those years there was a special initiation ceremony for new members. It included a "baptism", during which "Chibcha" costumes were used.

For the course design, they investigated who the best golf designer in the world was, and this is why they contacted the English born Robert Trent Jones, who charged US$ 26,000 for the course design. This led to a so spectacular golf course, that it has been included among the best 50 in the World. The constructor was the expert Argentinean Alberto Serra. The course was inaugurated on 1963 with a ribbon cut and a great celebration.

To obtain a way out on the eastern side, on 1,964 and 1,965 the necessary land was bought and a road and bridge over the "Bogotá" river were built.

As far as the complementary sports are concerned, on 1,962 the first tennis court is built. On 1,969 a pool is constructed which is covered on 1,980.

On 1,966, the new Club house is built and there is a big celebration to inaugurate it.

On 1,979, with the purchase of 9 and a half acres on the other side of the river, the Club completes the total land it owns today. On these acres, tennis courts, a soccer field and a shelter were built.

On 1,980, due to a strong winter, the golf course is flooded. Thanks to the effort on behalf of many of the members, it is fixed in time for the World Cup.

The World Cup was definitely a milestone in the Club's history, not only due to its world importance, but because of the golf players who came from countries all over the world. This event's success was due to the effort and collaboration of the Club members.

On 1,992 the "El Rincón" magazine is created which picks up the history, anecdotes and all those details that make El Rincón such a special place.

Starting in 1,991, and after a generational change in the Club directors, a series of constructions are undertaken to remodel the Club house and improve the machinery and installations.

Throughout the years, the Club's directors have made everything possible to maintain the Founder's initial vision and this is how today we keep being a group of great friends with an excellent golf course.

On 1,993, in gratitude to all the years of service to the Club, the Assembly of members elects Emilio Pizano de Brigard as Honorary President of the Club.

The Club's presidents have been

•    Emilio Pizano 1957-1963
• + Jorge Sanz de Satamaría 1963-1967 y 1974-1975
•    José Manuel Rodríguez 1967-1969
•    Camilo Samper 1969-1971
•    Manuel Carrizosa 1971-1974 y 1985-1989
• + Jorge Espinosa 1975-1977
• + Ernesto Uribe 1977-1979
•    Luis Alberto Forero 1979-1982
•    Pablo Gómez 1982-1985
•    Hernando Loboguerrero 1989-1991

•    José Guillermo Prieto 1994-1997

In the future, the Club will keep improving its golf course, installations and systems to be up to the standards of the best golf Clubs in the World. On the other side, it must be kept perfectly clear that El Rincón is before anything a Club composed of friends and it is with these two principles that we will advance during the 21st. century.
