Westin
Rio Mar Country Club (River
Course)
|
|
The Westin Río Mar
Country Club is located in Palmer, Río Grande, between
the Atlantic Coast and El Yunque National Rainforest Reserve.
The Club
plays host to two 18-hole
championship courses, the Ocean Course and
the River
Course. The River Course, a Greg Norman design, opened
in 1997, and is
known for its tropical landscape and wildlife scheme,
which include
tropical wetlands, palms trees, Flamboyan trees, Reine del
Floral, and plenty of colorful birds and Iguanas. The Greens are
covered in Tifdwarf Grass and the Fairways
in Bermuda. The Mameyes River runs through the course. Water hazards are in play. Restrictions
apply for non-members, so call ahead to confirm. It is
estimated that 82,000 rounds are played annually here.
