San José’s Meliá Cariari Conference Center & Golf Resort was our first stop

We received the VIP treatment from the resort’s staff, though the George Fazio-designed course was not nearly as hospitable! (Ray Floyd holds the course record) The golf course weaves through gently rolling terrain with fairways bordered by some of the most beautiful trees seen anywhere in the world. The tree trunks look like Jackson Pollack took his paintbrush and splashed on vivid colors.

Meliá Playa Conchal Beach & Golf Resort... One of the resort’s main draws is the championship golf course Robert Trent Jones Jr. cut from the jungle. Jones was on hand at Playa Conchal for the official course opening, and it was a thrill to meet and play with this legendary course architect. Our group competed on his challenging layout, which winds in and out of the hills around the resort. I will long remember the lovely views, exotic wildlife and lush vegetation that has put Playa Conchal on the must-play list for golfers from across the world.
