Golfing

Renowned as a golfing Mecca, Tamarindo Costa Rica and its surrounding area feature some of the best courses in the world. You may not be Tiger Woods, however the howler monkeys, parrots and macaws will cheer you on as you putt your stuff. Basically, there are two courses in the area. The one at the Paradisus Conchal Hotel which is basically a private course, however they will accept email reservations from certain hotels. The second is at Hacienda Pinilla. Both are absolutely beautiful championship courses. There was once a third course just outside of Playa Grande, but it has been closed for about 5 years.

Garra de Leon Golf Course at Paradisus Playa Conchal

A Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, this 18 hole par 72 course lies between the rolling, majestic mountains to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West. A true championship test for those in pursuit of the ultimate eco-golf experience. Its unique tropical setting provides a spectacular back drop for an unforgettable round of golf. Mercurial seasonal breezes provide an additional and rewarding challenge. Needless to say, the animal kingdom is always hovering nearby.
