Panoramic view of Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course

Hacienda Pinilla is spread over 4,500 acres along the north pacific coast of Costa Rica.  This rolling coastal landscape served as a cattle ranch for more than 40 years, giving the resort it's unique "Ranch-like" ambiance, rustic yet elegant.  This amazing property offers the visitor three miles of pristine beaches with delightful ocean views.

A tropical dry forest offers a diversity of habitats with natural trails for exploring.  Ancient and majestic native trees such as the "Guanacaste", "Matapalo" and "Pochote" provide habitat for a myriad of colorful species of birds, iguanas, monkeys and deer, and others.   In tune with the environment, this  beautiful championship golf course is ecologically-friendly and has been certified by The Audubon Society.











Mike Young, who has designed some of the finest courses in the southern United States, has truly shown him self with the creation of this 7,500-yard, par 72 masterpiece.  Hacienda Pinilla reflects Young's passion for the game, respect for tradition, concern for the environment, and sharp eye for detail.  Designed to conform to the slopes and contours of the natural landscape, each hole seems to fit perfectly with it’s surroundings

One of the few courses in the world facing the sea and to have "Tif Eagle Turf" on the greens, golfing here is truly an incredible experience.    As a reward for successful approach shots, the Tif Eagle greens guarantee each putt a consistently smooth ride right down to the center of the hole. 

This magnificent golf course rewards golfers with a most enjoyable round of exciting golf.   The different risk/reward situations offer different challenges in every round.

  The course is infinitely playable, where six sets of tees are set up at the beginning of each hole to account for all levels of players.


The perfectly manicured fairways of Hacienda Pinilla are generously wide and lush. However, dozens of links-style bunkers present attractive and challenging obstacles. 

An amazing variety of exotic trees are spread throughout the course serving as natural hazards, as well providing hangouts for tropical parrots, iguanas, deer and even a panther or two.

 “It doesn’t take long to realize that Hacienda Pinilla is a very special place. That’s why we have worked very hard to create a golf experience that harmoniously co-exists with the natural environment. While we haven’t sacrificed any pleasures or challenges for you, every effort has been made to keep human impact on the land to a minimum. So we’d appreciate it if you would treat the course and its rustic surroundings with the same respect. Designing Hacienda Pinilla was a unique privilege for me. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed creating it.”
