Frequently Asked Questions

When's the ideal time to experience Costão Golf without the crowds?

Brazilian summer (December-February) is peak season, so aim for spring (September-November) or autumn (March-May) for pleasant weather and fewer people. You'll find the course in fantastic condition during these shoulder seasons, offering a more relaxed round. Weekdays are always your best bet for a quieter experience.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Costão Golf, beyond just the score?

The wind off the Atlantic is your real opponent here, especially on the back nine where it can really swirl. You'll need to master your knock-down shots and accept that some days, par is a truly heroic score. Don't forget to take in the incredible ocean views, even when your ball is heading for the dunes.

Are the green fees at Costão Golf worth it, and what should I budget for?

Absolutely, the experience justifies the cost, especially if you're staying at the resort. Expect green fees to be on par with other top Brazilian courses, and factor in a caddy-they're invaluable for reading the greens and navigating the unique layout. Club rentals are available, but bringing your own is always best if possible.

What's a must-see or must-do unique to Costão Golf that I shouldn't miss?

You absolutely have to play the 6th hole, a par-3 right along the ocean-it's stunning and terrifying all at once. After your round, grab a caipirinha at the clubhouse overlooking the course; the sunset views are unbeatable. It's the perfect way to cap off a memorable day.

What practical advice do you have for someone planning their first round at Costão Golf?

Book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're visiting during a holiday. Bring plenty of sun protection-the Brazilian sun is no joke-and consider a lightweight rain jacket, as coastal showers can pop up quickly. You'll want comfortable walking shoes, even if you opt for a cart, as some views are best enjoyed on foot.
