Golf course training area

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to really get the most out of the training facilities in Panama?

You'll want to aim for Panama's dry season, typically December through April. The weather is consistently sunny and less humid then, making those long practice sessions on the range much more enjoyable and productive.

What's special about the driving range and practice areas here compared to other courses?

The range here offers a fantastic view of the surrounding Panamanian rainforest, which is a unique backdrop you won't find just anywhere. They also have excellent short-game areas, including a dedicated chipping green with bunkers that truly mimics on-course conditions, letting you dial in those crucial shots.

Can I get a golf lesson from a pro at the training area, and are they any good?

Absolutely, we highly recommend booking a session with their resident PGA professional, especially if you're looking to refine your swing in the tropical humidity. They're particularly adept at helping golfers adjust to the slightly heavier air conditions you'll encounter playing in Panama, offering practical, immediate feedback.

What should I expect to pay for using the practice facilities, like range balls or access to the short game area?

Access to the practice facilities is usually included if you're playing a round, but if you're just there to train, expect to pay a reasonable daily fee, typically around $20-30 USD for unlimited range balls and short game access. This is a great value for the quality of the facilities and the stunning environment.

Beyond the dry season, are there any specific tips for practicing effectively in Panama's climate?

Hydration is key-always bring plenty of water, even on cloudy days, as the humidity can be deceptive. We also suggest focusing on your tempo; the slightly denser air here can make you feel like you need to swing harder, but a smooth, controlled swing is always more effective.
