TPC Dorado Beach Resort and Club
In golf history, pairing spectacular land with a top-notch course designer has resulted in many of the world’s best and most iconic golf courses. Pebble Beach and Augusta National are prime examples. This time-proven formula holds gloriously true with the East Course at TPC Dorado Beach, 25 minutes from San Juan. Robert Trent Jones Sr. created a classic seaside course that maintains a modern championship layout that is inspiring for players of all skill levels. Panoramic sightlines of the ocean, bunkers filled with native beach sand, smooth greens, immaculate course conditions, luxury club atmosphere, and a tropical setting combine for a world-class golf experience. Golfers must be guests of the resort to play the golf courses.

Spectacular holes wind along the ocean, undulating fairways and scenic lakes. Managed by Troon Golf, Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club is an amenity of Marriott’s The St. Regis brand, the slogan for which defines the golf experience at this magnificent property – “Where Indulgence Meets Sophistication.” Immaculate course conditions, awe-inspiring views, first-class service, and inventive course design make Bahia Beach an exceptional place to play, relax, and unwind.

The Links at Royal Isabela extend dramatically along cliffs 200 feet above the ocean and drop to natural dunes along the Atlantic. The “nature-first” golf course is alive with plants, birds, and butterflies native to Isabela, Puerto Rico. Sod-faced bunkers add a Scottish flair to this Island gem. With trade winds that are your friend one moment and your foe the next, all these elements shape the course’s character and captivate the golf purist.
