About Club de Golf Hacienda Pinilla

Club de Golf Hacienda Pinilla is an 18-hole, par-72 course within the Hacienda Pinilla development near Tamarindo in Guanacaste. The official property website credits Mike Young with the design and states that the course can play to 7,200 yards. The routing follows the existing contours of the property through tropical forest and reaches the Pacific coast, with the design intended to work with rather than extensively reshape the natural terrain.

Independent historical sources date the course's opening to February 2001. Hacienda Pinilla has received designation through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program, reflecting environmental management of the golf property. Visitors can play the course rather than access being limited exclusively to private members, although advance reservations are recommended.
