Berwind Country Club
18-Hole Semi-Private Course — Río Grande / Loíza, Puerto Rico
Berwind Country Club
North Coast · Río Grande / Loízacourses/berwind-1.jpgOverview
Berwind is the value play of the Río Grande golf corridor: an all-year, palm-lined parkland course laid out in 1969 on a former coconut plantation, only minutes from Bahia Beach and Grand Reserve. It plays long — about 7,000 yards from the back tees with a 74.6 rating — on flat, walkable ground with water in play and hints of ocean. It is semi-private, and outside visitors are welcome only on certain days, so a phone call is part of the plan.
