Tamarindo Golf Course

My husband and I loved this course. We didn't stay at the resort so it took a while to get there, but we would do it again. Loved coming down #8, giving our lunch order to the guy who meets you at the end of #8. #9 was a beautiful par 3 next to the ocean. Lunch was fabulous and casual. No hurries to get back out to #10. Loved it. A must see and do!

Just 30 minutes north of Barra de Navidad and a 7 mile drive through the mountain jungle on a beautifully laid interlocking brick and stone driveway, you find 'golf paradise'.

Absolutely fabulous setting and certainly quiet and unrushed. We never saw other golfers the entire round but saw plenty of course workers who keep it in immacculate condition.

Great variety of elevations and tee box selections. Fairways are generous but forget it if you go into the jungle. No problem though, just hit another ball. Or another. No rush, no worry. Heck even the caddy can hit a tee shot or two.

Fabulous scenery particularly approaching the ocean greens. Again, take the view in and shoot some pictures then try the different tee boxes on the mountainside to the green below.

Lots of sand traps and all are manicured.

Halfway house is wonderful for a light, fresh snack or quick bbq. Have a cerveza and one for the caddy too.

Back nine is just as immpressive and the 12th is spectacular.

Ponds on 17 and 18 but easy to play over, or around.

Just relax and enjoy. We played January 2010 and will definitely take a group back with us next time. Green fees, including cart and caddy came to $195 CDN each. I've never paid that much before but will again for THIS experience.

Have played the course 5 times and can′t wait for the next. Usually no more than 6 groups playing the course and you feel it is only for youself. Very well maintained and great views.
