Golf
at Palmas
Enjoy the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea as you indulge your passion for golf in one of our two championship 18-hole golf courses.
The Palmas Athletic Club is dedicated to bringing you the finest golf experience on one of our two championship 18-hole golf courses.
Our Courses
Palm Course
The Palm Course (narrow course) designed by Hall of Fame golfer Gary Player, offers a tournament-grade challenge for any avid golfer. The narrow front nine require precise shot-making ability, with water and wind testing the player’s ability. The back nine play completely different as longer; wider more elevated holes allow you a moment to appreciate the beauty of this course while relaxing your vigilance just a bit. Holes #14 and #16 overlook the Caribbean and Vieques and allow the player to contemplate the wonders of nature.

Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf in 1995
The Palm Course hosted Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf in1995. Filmed on June 6th and aired nationally on ABC on December 10, 1995. The broadcast showed Puerto Rico’s Chi Chi Rodríguez defeat Lee Treviño 72 to 74 in Medal Play.
Flamboyán Course
The Flamboyán Course has already raised the benchmark by which all future Caribbean golf courses are measured. Offering golfers of all levels both a challenging experience and a beautiful setting in which to play, the Flamboyán Course has been ranked as the second-best course in Puerto Rico by Golf Digest (November 2003) and the best course on the island by Barron’s Magazine (March 1999). Built on a former sugar cane plantation, the course was routed to let the prevailing trade winds provide additional challenges. This is especially true on two of the course’s longest holes, the par 5 seventh and the par 4 ninth.

The challenge and beauty of the 12th hole
The most memorable hole on the Flamboyán Course is the par 3 twelfth hole. This challenging hole is played downhill, but into the wind, to a large green framed by bunkers left and right. Behind the green, coconut palms and the Caribbean Sea provide a distractingly beautiful backdrop for all to enjoy.
