C osta Rica is fast becoming a premier golf destination with Guanacaste leading the way. That’s because tropical golf courses are unique in beauty and design. Imagine playing golf on a course nestled between the ocean and a natural dry tropical forest bursting with wildlife such as Howler Monkeys, various birds or iguanas. Nearby Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort there are two world-class golf courses that we offer to our guests at a special rate. Hacienda Pinilla features the 6,800-meter Audubon Society-sanctioned Mike Young designed championship course. Then there’s the challenging 18-hole, par 71 golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, at Paradisus Playa Conchal. Both courses offer club and cart rentals, and if you are a beginner, lessons. Please check with our Tour Desk for information and tee time availability.If per chance, you want to work on your game, without taking in a full 18 holes, the Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort has its own private driving range located 2 kilometers from the hotel, just in front of the Tamarindo Airport. The use of the range is free to hotel guests.

Since golf is an important part of our area’s growth, Grupo Diria has future development plans to serve the sport and its aficionados. This includes the development of the first, airport golf community in Costa Rica called Rancho Tamarindo. This will be a commercial area built around the Tamarindo Airport, with a private, 18-hole championship golf course, residential area, condominiums, equestrian center, nature trails, horse trails, and an estuary park, all inside a gated community. Construction and pre-sales to begin soon.
