GOLF
Playing Golf in Costa Rica is always unforgettable as you dip into impressive nature scenes:
With its six outstanding 18-hole golf courses as well as the same number of 9-hole properties it is considered to be a small, but indeed an exclusive inside tip. Boasting with 30 adjacent national parks, tropical rainforests, volcanoes and precious beaches are just the perfect frame for an unforgettable roundtrip for each golf-enthusiast and their companions. The exclusive hotel offer ranges from the cherished and small Boutique Hotel up to large, renowned and international luxury hotel groups. With no doubt, all this will provide you with the most exclusive and remarkable stay while enjoying golf.
A Costa Rican golf experience might also be perfectly combined with further Latin American countries as well as the Caribbean. Despite its unknown fame, its neighbouring countries like Panama in the south and Nicaragua bordering in the north, offer a perfect infrastructure, two, still undiscovered golfer spots. Popular golf destinations like the Dominican Republic and Mexico are just a 2-hour flight away and suit perfectly into transnational golf experiences, a field we are specialized in!

Los Reyes Golf & Country Club
About 20 km west of San José, nicely positioned in a well-kept residential area, lies the Los Reyes Golf Court. Here you enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the quiet far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The 9-hole course is relatively short (5,722 yards for 18 holes) but provides a real challenge for all players. The tricky slope and the tree population along some of the fairways require a very precise play and an exact prognosis of the ball course. You will often have the course almost to yourself, especially during the week.
We recommend this course at the beginning of a round trip in order to adapt to the tropical climate and to warm up. If you are in San José on business, the course is a nice alternative to recover from the stress.

Valle del Sol Golf Course
This well-kept course is located a little outside San José in the Central Valley and offers an impressive view of the volcanoes Poás and Barva in the north and a mountain range in the south. Just like everywhere in Costa Rica, you will encounter an abundant flora and fauna. In between strokes you can watch many different kinds of animals, especially birds.
The 18 holes (par 72) are laid out in an interesting way, and you will encounter plenty of water. The first 9 holes are surrounded by beautiful old trees while the back nine are rather open and spacious. The course also has two “faces”: with or without wind. Especially from December to March, there is often a strong summer wind – an extra challenge for you.
Our golf round trips mostly feature this course in the beginning so you can adjust to the climate and make the first contact with the open-minded Costa Ricans. San José and its surroundings offer various accommodation options from neat small boutique hotels nestled between coffee plantations to international chain hotels. On business in Costa Rica?

La Iguana Golf Course
This gem, located on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, is a real treat for nature lovers. Surrounded by lush rain forest and offering spectacular views of the Pacific, this 18-hole/par 72 golf course forms part of a large tourism compound with villas, the Los Sueños Marriott Hotel and a marina.
The course was designed by Ted Robinson and really challenges the player. Long, wide fairways alternate with narrow ones lined with trees. The greens, too, are demanding and require careful observation and estimation of the ball course. Monkeys, scarlet macaws, armadillos, coatis, iguanas and various other animals watch your swing and will quite likely distract you a little.
The Iguana Golf Course is a part of our round trip programmes. We gladly book villas of different sizes for you in case of a longer stay. You can also benefit from the price advantage our special golf packages offer at the La Iguana Golf Course.

Ocean Course at Peninsula Papagayo
On a headland surrounded by the Pacific Ocean is the archipelago of Papagayo, where several hotels and luxury villas offer their services, for example, Four Seasons and Andaz. The province of Guanacaste located in the northwest of the country is the ideal place for golfers.
The Ocean Course is, without doubt, the flagship among Costa Rica’s golf courts. Designed by Arnold Palmer, this varied court offers attractive fairways, some of them with large differences in altitude and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. Golf Digest counts it among the 100 best golf courts outside the USA, and it is a privilege to play a round here.
Four Seasons chooses its distributors very carefully, with ARA Tours being one of the few partners of this renowned hotel brand in Costa Rica. We gladly compile a custom-made golf programme for you.

The golf course is laid out around several villas and holiday homes.
This 9-hole course is a true gem surrounded by lush tropical vegetation – home to numerous scarlet macaws which you can watch fly across the fairways.

Cariari Country Club Golf Course
This golf court is a mere 15 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from the centre of San José. Several international chain hotels are just a few minutes away. The Cariari Country Club Golf Course is private; access is only possible in connection with certain hotel reservations via ARA Tours.
If you are looking for a real challenge, this 18-hole course (par 71) is just right for you. Narrow fairways and an extensive tree population, complemented by the repeated crossing of a watercourse, require a very precise play. Yet the beautiful view of the central valley’s mountain ranges and watching the numerous bird species help to quiet the mind and recover the concentration.
Playing on this course has to be planned in advance. On Saturdays, the course is rather busy. Ask us about the different golf packages.

Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course
The enormous Hacienda stretches from the Pacific coast to the backcountry and houses not only this beautiful 18-hole course (par 72) but also different villas and two hotels. Guanacaste, located in the north-west of Costa Rica, is the country’s sunniest region.
Designed by Mike Young, the course offers wide fairways surrounded by abundant vegetation. The trees, some of them centuries old, are both sunshades and natural obstacles. Hole 15 is the highlight: you play in the direction of the surf onto the green directly next to the sea. From December to March, wind plays an important role here and makes for an extra challenge.
The Pinilla Golf Course is a destination on our golf round trips. For longer stays, we offer golf packages with different hotels. The combination of this course with the Reserva Conchal and Four Seasons golf courses is also very convenient.

The resort is a part of the Hacienda Pinilla, a “rustic luxury“ in the typical Guanacaste style with marvellous beaches and vast, green lawns ideal for both guests seeking a relaxing beach vacation and golf enthusiasts. From May till December the vegetation all over the luxurious complex is lush and from January till April, it is rather dry.
