Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge on Hole 15, and how should I approach it?

You'll face a forced carry over a dense jungle ravine on Hole 15; don't let the stunning views distract you. We recommend taking an extra club to clear the hazard, as the air can feel heavier here, especially during the humid season. Aim for the left side of the fairway to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the right.

When is the best time of year to play Hole 15, considering Panama's weather?

We've found the dry season, from December to April, offers the most consistent conditions for Hole 15. You'll avoid the afternoon downpours that can make the greens slick and the jungle rough even more unforgiving, ensuring a more enjoyable round. The morning tee times are always best to beat the heat and humidity.

Are there any unique sights or wildlife to look out for around Hole 15?

Absolutely, Hole 15 is a prime spot for local wildlife. Keep an eye out for howler monkeys in the canopy and colorful toucans perched on the ancient trees lining the fairway; it's a truly immersive jungle experience you won't forget. The panoramic views of the surrounding rainforest are also breathtaking.

Do I need a caddy specifically for Hole 15, and what's the local insight?

We strongly recommend a local caddy for Hole 15; their knowledge of the subtle breaks on the green and the prevailing winds coming off the nearby hills is invaluable. They can also help you spot your ball if it strays into the dense Panamanian foliage, saving you strokes and time. It's a small investment for a much smoother round.

After tackling Hole 15, what's a good local spot nearby to relax or grab a bite?

Once you've conquered Hole 15, we suggest heading to 'El Rancho del Golfista' just a short drive from the course. It's a casual, open-air spot where you can enjoy fresh ceviche and a cold local cerveza, soaking in the Panamanian vibe and reliving your round. It’s the perfect way to cap off your experience.
