Some tips for a better golfing experience in Costa Rica. * Check with your airline to see if they charge excess baggage fee for golf clubs. * The least expensive form of transportation around the country, especially with a lot of golf clubs is to rent a car. * Rainfall is a problem in the late afternoon and evening during the “green season”. Green season is from mid-May to mid-November, but the months of July and August normally see less rain and generally are beautiful with mild temperatures. * Apply sun block before leaving for the golf course. Use shades and hat. * Golf courses have dress code. The normal requirements are normally golf shirts with collars for men and proper attire for women. T-Shirts, bathing suits and short shorts are not permitted. * Wildlife sensitive areas are common in Costa Rica. Take note of and respect signage for safety. * The saying “trees are 90%” does not apply to dense tropical trees. “Tree lined fairways” is an expression that really has been taken to a completely new level here. So stay on the fairway. * When playing at the resort ocean courses, you’ll have to learn how to play the wind. You have strong winds from the sea almost all year. Use the tree tops to get a feeling for the wind. Want a perfect vacation with wonderful golfing experiences, go to Costa Rica!
