According to many golf enthusiasts who have traveled the world over to quench their golfing desires, the Dorado Beach Resort and Golf Club beats all others hands down. Located just 45 minutes from the San Juan airport, this resort spread over 1,000 acres of northeastern beachfront has the best known golf complex designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. It is the largest golf complex in the Caribbean with the four courses measuring collectively about 7,000 yards.
The Doral Palmas del Mar located 45 minutes southeast of San Juan is hemmed by the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the finest golfing places in the Caribbean, all of 7,117 yards and also envelopes a 23 acre lake. There are natural wetlands, meadows and streams all along the route. The course was designed by designer Rees Jones. The course is replete with deep bunkers and tall grasses along with the signature mounding and undulating greens of the designer. The 14th hole can challenge the golfing ability of the most expert golfer with its 200 feet drop against the backdrop of the ocean. The narrow course slices through marshy lands and coconut groves. The view of the course is stunning to say the least.
The golf course at the Wyndham El Conquistador Resort and Country Club is said to be one of the very best in Puerto Rico. The 6,652 yard golf course was designed by Arthur Hills and rises and falls as much as 200 feet. The course offers an uninterrupted view of the ocean on 16 holes and also the El Yunque rain forest along the way. The 5th hole is ranked the toughest. It is a lakeside 431 yard par 4. You have to tee into a breeze that literally knocks the ball lifeless. The Golden Door Spa can rejuvenate your aching muscles after a tough game.
The 481 acre Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort and Country Club is one of the major Puerto Rico golf destinations. The 6,945 yard course has some 100 bunkers and designed by the legend Greg Norman himself. The championship tees calls for a 100 yard carry over the river while the other tees are played on the fairway side of the water.
