La Iguana Golf Course

Home » Central Pacific » La Iguana Golf Course

Ted Robinson Jr. designed the 18-hole, Par 72 championship golf course. This outstanding golfer’s dream course was built in 1999, nestled into the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica. The ecological course is a total experience as one combines a great game of golf with the natural beauty. This course is considered to be naturally challenging as golfers play surrounded by exuberant native vegetation, and catching glimpses of monkeys and toucans.

Holes		18

578 YDS, Par 5, and Handicap 2. An interesting hole dogleg left, small green surrounded by the rain forest.

449 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 4. Two large trees in front protect very difficult hole, interesting tee off with hazard to the left and to the right of the green.

325 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 18. This is a hole you can take advantage of since it is short with a very open fairway.

545 YDS, Par 5, and Handicap 6. Our signature hole! Extremely difficult hole, landing areas protected by sand traps, water hazard going from the tee to the green and has a big “guayabo” tree in the middle of the fairway. The hole is completely into the rain forest, where you will have a great experience.

379 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 12. Not a hard hole to play if you are lucky and don’t hook the ball into the hazard. The only double green hole in Costa Rica.

172 YDS, Par 3, and Handicap 14. Short par 3, not too complicated; green is protected by sand traps.

324 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 16. Easy par 4 of 324 yards, open fairway, water hazard to the right and out of bounds to the left.

182 YDS, Par 3, and Handicap 10. Beautiful hole with a river between the tee and green, which is surrounded by three sand traps.

430 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 8. You can find a lot of trouble on this hole, especially the second shot to the green, because two bunkers and a huge lateral hazard protect it.

187 YDS, Par 3, and Handicap 5. Not an easy par three, dogleg to the right, hazard to the left and undulating green.

505 YDS, Par 5, and Handicap 9. Very interesting hole, tight landing area, nice “Higuerón tree” planted on the left side of the fairway.

462 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 1. This is our signature hole, because you definitely can get in trouble if you don’t drive your ball well. Dogleg to the left and creek protecting the front of the green.

527 YDS, Par 5, and Handicap 3. A narrow fairway covered by seven sand traps and out of bounds on the left side.

188 YDS, Par 3, and Handicap 15. Become a difficult hole if the wind is blowing into the valley. Out of bounds in the back of the green.

403 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 7. Easy par 4 with a nice open fairway, but be careful with the street on the left side.

316 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 17. The only problem that you will find on this hole is the river crossing in front of the tee boxes and right side of the fairway.

388 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 13. Beautiful hole with ocean view. Not an easy tee for ladies, because of the river in front of the tee and a lake in front of the green.

397 YDS, Par 4, and Handicap 11. Nice hole to take a picture, with the hotel in the background and the ocean on the left. The fairway is protected by three sand traps.
