Golf Near San Juan & Central Puerto Rico
If you want golf without leaving the capital region, three courses sit within about 30 minutes of San Juan: the municipal Río Bayamón (with night golf), the military-only Fort Buchanan and the hillier Caguas Real. They are modest compared with the resort courses but unbeatable for convenience and price.
