BUENAVENTURA PANAMA GOLF RESORT
🇵🇦 Rio Hato, Cocle, PA
Designed by Jack Nicklaus

Buenaventura Golf Club, carved into the Panamanian coastline near El Chirú, stands as a testament to modern golf architecture amidst a landscape previously defined by its untouched beauty. This is a course where the Pacific breezes play a significant role.
Designed by a respected architect, the course showcases a commitment to integrating with the unique tropical environment. Fairways wind through lush vegetation, demanding strategic shot-making rather than brute force. Water hazards come into play on many holes, testing accuracy and course management, while the undulating greens require a deft touch with the putter. It's a golf course known to favor right handed players due to a high number of dog leg lefts.
While it hasn't yet hosted a major professional championship, Buenaventura has become a sought-after destination for discerning golfers seeking a challenging and aesthetically pleasing round in a remarkable setting. The club fosters a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, attracting a diverse membership drawn to the allure of Panama's natural splendor and the camaraderie found both on and off the course. A popular spot at the 19th hole involves trying the local ceviche, paired with a cold Panama beer as the day winds down.
