Why Puerto Rico

A 365-day golf season, an hour from the mainland US

Puerto Rico packs roughly twenty courses onto one island — more concentrated championship golf than anywhere else in the Caribbean — and because it's a US territory, mainland golfers arrive with no passport, no currency exchange, and no roaming charges. Year-round warm weather means there's no off-season: winter is peak snowbird season, and summer brings quieter courses and lower rates.

The island's design pedigree is remarkable for its size: Robert Trent Jones Sr. & Jr., Tom Fazio, Greg Norman, Tom Kite, Gary Player, Rees Jones and Arthur Hills all have signature work here, and the PGA Tour has staged the Puerto Rico Open at the Grand Reserve (formerly Trump International / Coco Beach) Championship Course.

Where to Stay

Golf hotels & stay-and-play resorts

Nine resorts with championship golf on site or next door — including the brand-new Four Seasons at Bahía Beach.
