Golf Digest ranked the top courses in 206 countries, with Reserva Conchal at the top in Costa Rica. The publication has been rating golf courses around the world since 1966, and boasts nearly 1,000 raters and approximately 2 million subscribers.
“The Guanacaste region of Costa Rica is fast becoming a golf destination, and we are thrilled two major golf media giants chose our course as the best in the country,” says Carlos Rojas Soto, Director of Golf of Reserva Conchal. “Our standing is a testament to the entire golf experience at Reserva Conchal, and shows the golf course is appealing to both the vacationing golfer and the better players.”
Jones II’s brilliant routing meanders between the azure Pacific Ocean waters and lush greens of the neighboring “dry” tropical forest, exposing players to myriad elements. The sporty par-71 track features breathtaking ocean vistas with unforgettable holes winding through lakes, rugged ravines and rolling hills.
