Variety and quality are two defining characteristics of the Island’s golf courses and resorts. They offer a range of price points and types – from municipal to luxury – and they are located throughout Puerto Rico, so convenient access is available virtually everywhere. Course designers include some of the game’s most famous and honored – Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Arthur Hills, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Greg Norman, Gary Player, Chi Chi Rodríguez, Tom Kite, Rees Jones, and Tom and George Fazio.

Six of the Island’s courses have been ranked among the best in the Caribbean and Mexico, out of hundreds of playing options. And the PGA Tour’s Puerto Rico Open is played on the Championship Course, an amenity of the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico. The professional players love coming to the Island and bringing their friends and family to frolic after their golf rounds are finished each day.

While golfers desire high-quality course conditions foremost, they also seek fun layouts and dramatic settings. Puerto Rico is top-notch in this category, as Royal Isabela demonstrates. Whereas most developers build real estate products on the most coveted land, at Royal Isabela, the golf course unfurls there, same with Dorado Beach, Bahia Beach, Costa Caribe, Rio Mar, and Palmas del Mar. Perched upon 200-foot cliffs, spectacular ocean views abound at Royal Isabela’s Links Course, where environmental conservation is a core component of the gorgeous property. The robust prevailing winds make playing there a thrilling, never-the-same experience.
