Costa Rica Golf

Pack those golf clubs, because whether you are a beginner or advanced player, Costa Rica’s golf courses have something for everyone.

We have some of the finest courses in the world, and the Central Valley’s climate makes Costa Rica golf a refreshing game all-year long.

Costa Rica is fast becoming a world-class destination for golf. Los Sueños Marriott Beach and Golf Resort is a two hour drive from San José. Hacienda Pinilla, Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort de Garre de Leon, the Royal Pacific, and the Four Seasons Resort featuring the Peninsula Papagayo Arnold Palmer course are all located on the northern Pacific Coast.

Costa Rica golf is growing rapidly!

Playing a round at the beach can be a thrilling getaway, but difficult – logistically and economically – for a weekly game. The costs at the beach golf courses can be expensive since the resorts and country clubs target tourists.

For golf near San José, your choices for a weekly game of golf whittle down to two 18 hole courses and two nine hole golf courses. Our other articles (links below) will give you prices, photographs, interviews and information – the tools you need to start planning now.

Just a little over 25 years ago, the Country Club was the only course in town.

Today, golf can be played at Parque Valle del Sol, a beautiful 18 hole public course; Los Reyes, a nine hole private golf course; or Meliá Cariari Country Club an 18 hole championship course located just 15 minutes from downtown.

Please read our Members Only articles for more about the basic rates and the set-up of the courses in the Central Valley – most other golf information on the Internet is geared toward tourists.

Plus, read an interview with retiree Ron Sims who relocated for part of the year to be closer to his daughter and granddaughter. He’ll explain some experiences he’s adjusted to while living here and how his golf game is faring. And according to Ron, golf is even helping his Spanish skills!
