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 fairways are seeded with Bermuda 419 and the greens with Bermuda 328.

They are proud to be certified by Audubon International, the most acknowledged ecological program in the world of Golf.

Mrs. May, with the assistance of the on-site construction supervisor Mr. Mark Dinan, has designed the layout to be challenging and fair under most conditions, and downright tough when the winds come swirling down from the surrounding mountains.

The layout is diverse and requires the use of all the clubs in your bag. Valle del Sol was designed with five tee boxes that allow the weekend golfer and low handicapper have a great time.

The rolling hills, mature trees that were part of the original course and the surrounding mountains create a great setting for some Costa Rica golf.

At Hacienda Pinilla, you’ll see a shining example of Young’s passion for the game, respect for tradition, concern for the ecotourism and the environment and sharp eye for detail. Each hole was designed to conform to the slopes and contours of the natural landscape.

Not only has he 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 of the area.

The course is a coastal layout with wide, open fairways and the prevailing winds come into play on just about every hole. The bump and run are recommended for most approach shots as the greens are hard and fast.
