Panama is now a golf destination- this small country has city, beach and mountain golf courses including a new course widely regarded as the best in Latin America.

It’s an 18 hole, 72 par golf course designed by Jeffrey Meyers next to the Panama Canal and surrounded tropical rainforest with panoramic views. It’s about a half an hour trip from your downtown hotel. Morning golfing is recommended since in the afternoons it gets hot and rains in the green season.

Outside Panama City, Panama has two golfing destinations: Panama’s Riviera- a string of beaches 1.5 hours from Panama City and in Boquete in the cool volcanic highlands of coffee plantations.
Since Panama also has the best Retiree Benefits Program in the world, which includes discounts on green fees, it is also attracting a growing crowd of retirees who have found their golfing paradise.
