This spectacular and competitive golf course was built in its early days by the Barceló Group and is located in the middle of a beautiful tropical setting. The renovation of the golf course was completed by Ulrich Lang, who has been since 1998 a Class A Superintendent and member of GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendent Association of America).


The new design allows for more drama and views into the spectator's areas. The aim was to improve upon the quality and find solutions to the strategic challenges presented by the golf course that centered around environmental concerns while reducing maintenance issues by changing the bunkers. Ulrich Lang worked on replacing the drainage system for the bunkers and changed their design to turn them into typical British/European bunkers. These bunkers are respectful of the tropical climate and are better suited to handle rainfall than the previous bunkers were. Finally, the bunkers mixed with new white sand are now available to guests.


Los Delfines golf course is home to Costa Rica's largest populations of Scarlet Macaws and the only golf course in the world with 170 Red Macaws that have been released.


ASOPROLAPA was born at the end of 1996:


"The survival of the Scarlet Macaw is ensured through a controlled captive breeding program on the Nicoya Peninsula."


Almost twenty species of trees have been planted at the Los Delfines golf course to make it easier for birds to find their natural food and shelter for rest and nesting. The ultimate goal is to release a total of 200 birds to establish a viable biological population.
