Highlights

Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course
The Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course in Costa Rica provides an exclusive atmosphere for lovers of this sport. The 6800 meter masterpiece created by Mike Young was done with emphasis on detail building a course where each hole was designed to conform to the slopes and contours of the natural landscape of Hacienda Pinilla. Frequent risk/reward situations offer different challenges on each play when trees, apart from offering refreshing breaks, also represent natural obstacles.  The facilities include as well the El Corral Turn House, housing the Pro Shop and restaurant.  The Pinilla Golf Course not only met the highest standards required by international golf organizations in building the course, but recently the property earned certification as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for its preservation of the ecological balance in the area.
