Flamboyan Course
Palmas Del Mar Country Club Flamboyan

About this course
Flamboyan is one of two courses at Palmas Del Mar Country Club, a resort and residential community on Puerto Rico's eastern coast near Humacao. Rees Jones designed the course with Steve Weisser, bringing his characteristic approach to strategic bunkering and green complexes to a tropical Caribbean setting. The layout occupies terrain that moves between coastal and inland zones, incorporating the natural topography and vegetation of the region into the playing corridors. The course takes its name from the flamboyant tree, a flowering species common to Puerto Rico, and the routing reflects the property's varied landscape. Holes navigate through palm groves and tropical vegetation, with some stretches offering views toward the Caribbean Sea. The design emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee and approach play into well-defended greens, consistent with Jones's renovation and design work elsewhere. Wind from the ocean influences club selection and shot-making, particularly on holes with greater exposure. Palmas Del Mar has served as a golf destination for both resort visitors and local players since its development, with Flamboyan complementing the property's other course. The club provides a range of amenities typical of Caribbean resort communities, including dining facilities and practice areas. The course remains part of Puerto Rico's broader golf landscape, which has attracted both recreational and competitive play over the decades, though Flamboyan itself has primarily served as a daily-fee and resort layout rather than a tournament venue.

Getting there
The journey to Palmas Del Mar Country Club Flamboyan begins at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan (SJU), roughly an hour's drive southeast along Puerto Rico's eastern coast, where the landscape shifts from urban sprawl to lush tropical terrain dotted with royal palms and glimpses of the Caribbean. Private aviation clients benefit from nearby Palmar Este Airport, a discreet hub minutes from the property that bypasses San Juan entirely. The final approach winds through the gated community of Palmas Del Mar itself, a masterplanned resort enclave where manicured fairways and the distant shimmer of the Atlantic signal arrival at this exclusive sanctuary on Puerto Rico's southeastern shore.
