Costa Rica might be best known for two breakfast staples – coffee and bananas – but more and more “breakfast balls” are being hit off the first tee at golf courses in this Central American country, thanks in large part, to high-end resorts being built on its pristine shores. One such luxurious Costa Rican getaway in the Guanacaste Province is the Reserva Conchal Beach Resort, Golf and Spa. Here we look at a few reasons why Reserva Conchal is one of Costa Rica’s most glamorous places to stay and play.
1. Golf
Designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the par-71 Reserva Conchal golf course stretches to more than 7,000 yards. Jones II smartly routed the course between the azure Pacific waters and lush greens of the neighboring tropical forest. The returning nines feature amazing ocean vistas with unforgettable holes meandering through tropical lakes, rugged ravines and ample elevation changes.

2. History in the Making
Historically, no other golf course in Costa Rica rivals Reserva Conchal. In 2008, it hosted the region’s first international professional event, the Costa Rica TLA Masters. Notable professional golfers Jesper Parnevik, David Leadbetter and Hale Irwin have notched rounds here, and that list grew substantially in May when Reserva Conchal hosted the PGA TOUR Latinoamerica Essential Costa Rica Classic. The inaugural tournament – sponsored by the Costa Rica Tourism Institute – was the first-ever PGA TOUR event in Costa Rica, and the field consisted of 144 professional golfers from more than 25 countries.

3. Life’s a Beach
Enjoy world-class dining, a state-of-the-art fitness center and the luxurious SPA by Westin, Costa Rica – all inside the 60,000-square-foot Reserva Conchal Beach Club. Dining can be enjoyed poolside or in private quarters, but you would be remised if you didn’t head to the Beach Club’s rooftop deck at dusk to see the beautiful sunset views.
