Palmas Del Mar Country Club Flamboyan

The Palm Course at Palmas Del Mar Country Club sits along Puerto Rico's southeastern coast near Humacao, part of a larger resort and residential community that developed in the 1970s. Gary Player designed this layout to work with the tropical Caribbean terrain, incorporating elevation changes and natural vegetation characteristic of the region. The course takes advantage of its coastal setting, with several holes offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and prevailing trade winds that influence play throughout the round. Player's routing moves through varied topography, with holes playing along ridgelines and through lower-lying areas where water features come into play. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making rather than pure length, asking players to consider wind direction and club selection on approach shots to greens that feature Player's typical contouring. Palm trees and tropical landscaping frame many holes, while the coastal environment introduces firm turf conditions during drier periods. Palmas Del Mar has served as a golf destination for both Puerto Rican residents and visitors seeking Caribbean golf, with the Palm Course functioning as one of multiple layouts within the property over the years. The course operates within a community that includes tennis facilities, marina access, and resort amenities, reflecting the broader development pattern of Caribbean golf properties from that era. The layout remains accessible to resort guests and members, maintaining its role as a tropical golf option along Puerto Rico's eastern shore.
