Carved into the jungle covered hills on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Garra de Leon is a true golfer's tropical paradise. The magnificent 7,030 yard coastal golf course was designed by the world renown golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones ll. This course, located in a beautiful secluded valley filled by the sound of the ocean as it beats steadily onto the nearby shore, is a true pleasure to play. 

It’s perfect rolling greens are tucked into the edges of the surrounding jungle, making a round of golf at Garra de Leon a real adventure!  Adding to it’s natural beauty, majestic trees, native to Costa Rica, are scattered throughout the golf course. The designer, Robert Trent Jones ll, creatively uses these impressive trees as guardians for the uniquely laid out greens, shade for tee boxes and for marking the edges of the generally wide and inviting fairways.

In Costa Rica’s northern zone, Guanacaste, the sun comes up early; allowing for a pleasant round of golf filled with the sounds of monkeys, jungle animals and the refreshing sea breezes.  For the early risers, it's very possible to get in a full round of golf and still catch the wonderful buffet breakfast offered by the hotel poolside.

Garra de Leon is competing with the Cariari Country Club in San Jose, for the honor of being considered the finest golfing facility in all of Central America. It is definitely a course you can't wait to play over and over and over again. A truly unforgettable experience!
