Puerto Rico’s courses are as much about wildlife and landscape as golf. Several sit between rainforest, lagoon and sea, and the best visits treat the setting with care. Discover Puerto Rico’s Green Path program encourages travelers to explore the island more mindfully across four pillars: food, legacy, nature and conscious stays.
The Robert Trent Jones Jr. course winds around about 80 acres of saltwater lagoons and is certified a Silver Signature Sanctuary by Audubon International. The Four Seasons resort sits on a 483-acre nature reserve between El Yunque National Forest and the Espíritu Santo River State Preserve.
Iguanas bask beside the pond at the Ocean Course’s 4th, and seven River Course fairways run beside the Mameyes River with El Yunque as the backdrop. Leatherback turtles nest on the resort beach in season, so keep lights low and give nests space.
The 426-acre site combines tropical woodland, limestone outcrops, river valleys and clifftop bluffs high above the Atlantic.
Laurance Rockefeller developed the resort alongside a nature sanctuary; the Rockefeller Nature Trail has about 11 miles of trails and Spa Botánico occupies a five-acre botanical setting.
The course sits above the point where the Atlantic and the Caribbean meet, beside the old lighthouse. The west is known for spectacular sunsets.
Bahía Beach is certified a Silver Signature Sanctuary by Audubon International, and several courses sit within or beside protected rainforest, river and lagoon habitat.
Yes. Iguanas are common at Rio Mar, birds and lagoons shape Bahía Beach, and leatherback turtles nest on nearby beaches in season.
