Architect: George Fazio

Yardage, par, and slope from Championship tees.
The Cariari, considered to be the best course in Central America, is a beautiful place to play when arriving in Costa Rica, and with proper planning, a great way to end your stay as well. The Cariari was designed and built by golf course architect George Fazio on land that was once a coffee plantation. This par 71 course measures 6,590 yards from the Championship tees, but plays much longer.

The course is heavily wooded, the fairways are narrow with few fairway bunkers, and the greens lean toward the large side with sand traps throughout. The greens are Bermuda and roll fast and true. The course record is held jointly by Raymond Floyd and Costa Rican Alvaro Ortiz. The Cariari was the site of the Friendship Cup in 1979 & 1980. These PGA sponsored events were won by Larry Zeigler (2 under) and Raymond Floyd (9 under).
