Five Reasons to Go golfing in Puerto Rico

Enjoy a round of golf beachside at the Rio Mar Resort & Spa.

East Coast Golf Courses

Several of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated courses were designed by some of the game’s most iconic names. The courses at Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort were designed by Greg Norman (River Course) and George and Tom Fazio (Ocean Course). 

At nearby Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club, you will find an exquisitely nuanced layout by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. This is the closest 18-hole course to San Juan, and the crystal-clear views of the teal-colored ocean make every round here mesmerizing.

Other golf courses to discover include the International and Championship layouts at 36-hole Grand Reserve Golf Club, an amenity of Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve, home to the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open; the 18-hole luxury course at El Conquistador Resort; and the 36-hole complex at Palmas Athletic Club, where Gary Player and Rees Jones each authored 18-hole courses that are as scenic as they are compellingly crafted.

South Coast Golf Courses

Tarpon, Island, and Osprey accurately name the three 9-hole layouts at Costa Caribe Golf & Country Club, which nestles alongside the ocean in the charming town of Ponce. Part of the amenity-rich Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort, the 27 golf holes include swaying palms, a signature island green, and views of the surrounding mountains and ocean. Less than an hour’s drive east along the coast awaits El Legado, an 18-hole jewel designed by Puerto Rico golf and PGA Tour legend Chi Chi Rodríguez. Expect immaculate conditions, a great restaurant, and a beautiful, relaxing setting where the golf experience is as relaxing as it is rewarding.

The Most Budget-Friendly Golf Courses in Puerto Rico

Golfers play alongside towering cliffs at the Royal Isabela Golf Course.

West Coast Golf Courses

Puerto Rico’s west coast is a unique place, famous for its surf and laid-back beauty and vibe. It’s also memorable for its golf, thanks to Royal Isabela and Punta Borinquen. The former is a boutique luxury resort where the owners opted to put the golf course along the coastal cliffs instead of real estate, resulting in exquisite scenery and a wind-buffeted round filled with thrilling shot opportunities. Set lovingly upon the towering promontory overlooking the sea, Punta Borinquen is a historic course where “General Ike” Eisenhower loved to play when the course was part of now closed Ramey Air Force Base. It’s a municipal-style course where the green fees and course conditions are modest, but the design and setting is as good as it gets. With turquoise ocean views from each hole, this community course delivers authentic Puerto Rico throughout.

  There’s no shortage of golf courses in the Caribbean. But when you pair these outstanding courses with the history, food, and hospitality of Puerto Rico, you’ve got many good reasons to grab your clubs and catch the next flight to San Juan. Being a U.S. territory means Puerto Rico is your tropical vacation home away from home. A welcoming, beautiful environment where no passport is required for U.S. citizens, many people speak English, and a plethora of natural wonders and sensual island vibes caress the soul. Here are three great options for your trip.

  TPC Dorado Beach, at Ritz-Carlton Reserve

  Dorado

  In the history of golf, pairing spectacular land with a top-notch course designer has resulted in many of the world’s best and most iconic golf courses. Pebble Beach, Royal Dornoch, and Augusta National are prime examples. This time-proven formula holds gloriously true with the East Course at TPC Dorado Beach, 35 minutes from San Juan. Robert Trent Jones Sr. created a classic seaside course that maintains a modern championship layout thanks to the revitalization that his son, Robert Trent Jones Jr., brought when the owners brilliantly renovated this masterpiece. The ocean’s panoramic sightlines, devilish bunkers, immaculate yet deceptive greens, swaying coconut trees, and a luxury club atmosphere with caddies combine for a world-class golf experience.

  The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club

  Río Grande

  Golf Course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed this unique 18-hole championship layout with a commitment to preserving the site’s natural integrity. Spectacular holes trace the shore with undulating fairways and scenic lakes. Managed by Troon Golf, Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club is an amenity of Marriott’s St. Regis brand, the slogan for which defines the golf experience at this magnificent property – “Where Indulgence Meets Sophistication.” Professional-grade course conditions, awe-inspiring views, first-class service, and the inventive course design makes Bahia Beach an exceptional place to play, relax, and unwind. The entire resort has earned Audubon International distinction for its best practices in conservation and eco-sensitivity, and one feels serene and content in this stunning tropical oasis.

  Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Golf & Beach Resort

  Río Grande

  Everything about Rio Mar Country Club is neat, fun, and appealing. This starts at the elegant resort and permeates throughout its many amenities, not the least of which is its two 18-hole golf courses. Located in Río Grande, 35 minutes from San Juan, the River Course is by Greg Norman, and it is a sinewy test of golf that leaves players astounded by imaginative layout. The Ocean Course by Tom and George Fazio comes by its name honestly, with views of the sea and beach on the back nine. Likewise, the River Course features the Mameyes River snaking throughout the property. After an exhilarating round, golfers can enjoy the resort’s casino, spa, pools, multiple restaurants, or oceanfront. Managed by Troon Golf, the golf service and new clubhouse are exceptional.
