COSTA RICA GOLF Costa Rica is an ecological wonderland of tropical forests, national parks & abundant wildlife. But today Costa Rica golf is becoming one of the countries other main attractions. Bordering the Caribbean Sea to the east is the Central American country of Costa Rica. Costa Rica boasts some of the best golf course designers such as George Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Ted Robinson, Jr., Mike Young, and Tracy May. Golf travelers experience the scenic beauty and natural attractions of Costa Rica not found anywhere else. The Costa Rica golf experience combines great golf with new and exciting non-golfing adventures and the chance to meet and interact with the people of this charming country. What is truly remarkable is that all of this is set in one of the world's most beautiful locations. Some of the best courses in Costa Rica include La Iguana in the south west which is a 6,700-yard Ted Robinson Jr. design with a unique and dramatic setting at the Los Suenos Marriott. The front nine plunges into the shadow of the rainforest along a narrow river valley and mature trees are perversely placed throughout. Cariari Country Club is where George Fazio routed a typically thoughtful and challenging Fazio layout. Mature, it opened in 1974, and is elegantly traditional. The course is Heavily treed, with amazing cacti and exotic native plants and stately palms as accents. Tracy May designed the Valle del Sol located 15 minutes from San Jose is this area's best course. Rolling hills and mature trees that were part of the original course which May redesigned coupled with the surrounding mountains create a great setting for golf.
