You can enjoy a good game of golf at one of the many Costa Rica gold courses. There are three golf courses in San Jose alone along with a country club that only allows members and their guests to access the course. The Parque Val de Sol is now a public golf course with green fees of $75, which includes a cart. While it is not hard to play gold in Costa Rica, it is not considered a sport – only a hobby.

The most natural Costa Rica golf course is the Cariari, and is considered the best golf course in Central America. It is a par 71 course with many wooded areas, narrow fairways and large greens with sand traps. The PGA Friendship Cup games were played on this course in 1979 and 1980. Another golf course that sees a lot of tee-offs is the Garra de León Golf Course, which is an ocean course. It surrounds a spectacular resort with beautiful vistas, sweeping fairways and large greens.

If you book a Costa Rica golf tour, you will get an opportunity to play on some of the best golf courses in the country. Many of these tours stay at the country club resorts or have access to them. All the fees for rental of clubs and carts are included in the price, so you won’t have to worry about not having the right iron. Costa Rica is quickly becoming a destination for golfers all over the world. The ideal golfing vacation is not all golf because you can go on many sightseeing tours and take in fishing excursions as well as relax on one of the many pristine beaches.
