Whether you’re planning a quick golf getaway or an extended luxury retreat, our exclusive concierge services, private transportation, and handpicked accommodations ensure your Costa Rican golf vacation is flawless from arrival to departure.

Why Cariari Golf Club is a Must-Play Course

A Legacy of Championship Golf

Designed by George Fazio in 1973, Cariari was Costa Rica’s first 18-hole championship course and remains one of the most respected layouts in Central America. Key features include:

  • Par 72, 6,900-yard traditional design
  • Elevated greens and tree-lined fairways for strategic play
  • Host of the Central & South American Open, attracting legends like Chi-Chi Rodriguez
  • Cool mountain climate (3,390 ft elevation) for comfortable year-round play

A Golfer’s Challenge & a Nature Lover’s Paradise

While the course demands precision, the surroundings immerse you in Costa Rica’s natural beauty:

  • Mature tropical trees frame every hole
  • Flowing streams and undulating terrain add drama
  • Wildlife sightings (toucans, parrots, and agoutis) are common

Signature Holes

  • Hole #1 (427-yard par 4): A demanding opener with a tight fairway and well-guarded green.
  • Hole #14 (522-yard par 5): A risk-reward hole with water in play near the green.
  • Hole #18 (355-yard par 4): A classic finishing hole with a sloping fairway and a creek protecting the green.
