Arnold Palmer


Campo del Golf de Arnold Palmer





To tap into the sophisticated splendors of Peninsula Papagayo is to be quickly seduced by the allure of a masterful 18-hole Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course...his premier venture in Latin America. Hugging diverse terrain borne of an ancient lava flow from distant Rincón de la Vieja, 6,788 yards wind their way through 125 acres of undulating fairways and greens. A variety of shots challenge players of all skill levels. Dramatic elevation changes stir the senses. Variegated terrain, ranging from forest to valley to seacliffs, ensures every fairway provides a major photo opportunity and every hole calls for a unique approach.






Though the course was envisioned to challenge yet not overwhelm, the scenery doesn’t adhere to these principles. Fourteen oceanview holes could very well spoil one’s concentration. A family of playful white-faced monkeys is always a welcome distraction. The rewards lie both in a memorable round of golf and an ecological tour through exotic flora and an abundance of curious fauna.
