If you’re looking for a great public course, I highly recommend Palmas Del Mar. It’s consistently ranked among the best in Puerto Rico due to its stunning views and well-maintained greens.

I’ve heard great things about Palmas! How are the amenities there? Anything worth mentioning?

In addition to Palmas Del Mar, you should check out the Dorado Beach East Course. It’s known for its beautiful landscaping and excellent service. The ocean views are incredible!

Dorado Beach sounds amazing! Has anyone played there recently? How does it compare in terms of difficulty and design?

I played at Dorado last month, and the design really stood out! Challenging yet rewarding. Highly recommend it.

For those on a budget, Luis A. Ferré Golf Course in Bayamón is a hidden gem! It’s not as luxurious as some other courses, but it’s well-kept and affordable.

Nice tip! I love finding hidden gems. How’s the atmosphere there?

The atmosphere at Luis A. Ferré is pretty laid back, with friendly staff and lots of locals. Definitely one of those courses where you can feel right at home.

I think the best public course has to be The Course at Rio Mar. It combines beautiful scenery with top-notch amenities. A must-play for any golfer!

Rio Mar is indeed special! It’s had some great tournaments there too. How does the course hold up during the rainy season?

It can be on the pricier side, but they often have deals or twilight rates that make it more affordable. Just check their site!

I’ve found that public courses like the Montesino Golf Course are also underrated. The affordability combined with stunning views makes it worth a visit.
