Puerto Rico

Sitting just outside Puerto Rico’s second largest city of Ponce (“La Perla del Sur”) on the south side of the island, the 27-hole golf complex at Costa Caribe Golf & Country Club opened for play in 2003, promptly hosting the Puerto Rico Open for the next two years.

American architect Bruce A. Besse Jr of Willowbend Golf & Land Design laid out the three loops of nine holes and their palm-fringed fairways wind past a number of man-made water hazards adjacent to the shoreline in a very imaginative routing.

The signature hole on the scorecard is the 188-yard, par three, 12th which plays to an island green. You can be sure, with water all around, that the putting surface from the tee box appears a lot smaller than the average 6,000 square feet area for greens at Costa Caribe.
