Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course

The gyrocopter has flown south from Tamarindo and Langosta to the Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course. As shown in today's photo, the golf course has lots of trees and guns alongside the ocean.

This photo was taken at extreme low tide, exposing the volcanic rock that at times is under the ocean. Usually the waves wash over the rocks and up to the sandy each.

People who rent our condos sometimes ask about golfing opportunities. Hacienda Pinilla is the closest golf course to Tamarindo, about 15 minutes by car. We can walk there along the beach from our condo. Having a championship quality golf course nearby is an important asset to Tamarindo for tourism, as golf is an important activity for some tourists.

  1. I like the way the course works it's way around that patch of trees and brush in the center.

  2. This adds a whole new meaning to 'sandtrap'.

  3. American and British people like golf very much. In France playing golf has always been a very expensive activity, so we don't practice it as much as people do in English-speaking countries. Your golf course is a very large one.

  4. Great shot showing the low tide from the air. Really gives you a unique perspective. Would love to play that course.
