Palmas del Mar Golf Club
(Flamboyán
Course)
|
|
Located southeast of
San Juan in Humacao, the Palmas
del Mar Country Club features two
championship eighteen hole golf courses. The Palm Course and the Flamboyan
Course have superb
layouts. The newer Course,
the Flamboyan, bends along a 20-acre freshwater lake, intersects the Candelero
River, and meets the coastal waters of the Caribbean with
Vieques
Island as a backdrop.
.
The Flamboyan Course is a
Rees Jones design, built in 1998. The Greens are covered
with
tifdwarf grass, the Fairways with bermuda. The Fairways are wide
at the far holes and narrow at the near holes. Water
hazards take the form of a pond and the lake. The
layout is known for its deep bunkers, elevated
greens. The wind makes it all the more challenging. You'll
definitely get to use all your clubs on this course.
The Palmas
del Mar Country Club is located in the Palmas del
Mar residential resort community. Non-guests are allowed to play whenever
space is available. The number of rounds played annually
is estimated in the 50,000's.
