Garra de Leon Golf Course:
The par 71, 7,080 yard course offers sweeping ocean and jungle views. Spacious fairways and multiple teeing options allow players of all levels to enjoy a challenging round of golf. Garra de Leon was chosen as the site for the 2007 Costa Rica Pro Am Tournament.
The course was designed in the classic tradition of the game with without distinct nines. Both begin from the central clubhouse site and meander through rolling terrain that is punctuated by lakes and ravines, putting a premium on accurate approach shots to large, manicured Bermuda grass greens.
Guest Book:
We had always heard of the natural wonders of Costa Rica - the volcanoes and beaches and jungles - and they are fabulous but we loved the Villa so much that it was an effort to get out and explore!
What a place! We roamed from one room to room trying to decide on the perfect master suite. We swam morning and evening in the reflection pool and enjoyed our daily maid service (she was a delight!) Afternoons we went to the beach and waited for the fishermen to come in with their catch. We bought our dinner right off their lines and took it home to cook. It was a magical vacation.
There is no doubt that we will return to Villa Catalina many times. Jim and Carl L., Memphis, TN
