Ted Robinson routed the La Iguana course at Los Suenos Resort through a tropical rainforest where monkeys and parrots will accompany you as you play along the exotic fairways.
Laid out between the shores of the Pacific Ocean and an 1,100-acre tropical rainforest, La Iguana golf course at the Los Suenos resort is a Ted Robinson design that saw its first golfing action at the end of the 1990s.
Hole 6, “El Bruja,” is the first of the five short holes on the card and it’s the only par three where water doesn’t protect the green. The short par fours at 3, 7 and 17 all seem like benign holes - each of them measuring less than 340 yards in length - but they’re all treacherous holes; particularly the 17th, where the green is protected by water to the front left of the putting surface.
The signature hole on La Iguana is “El Tucan,” the 545-yard right doglegged 4th, where water – in the form of a stream that runs down the left before cutting diagonally across the fairway – threatens all the way from tee to green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
