Palmas del Mar in Puerto Rico offers great golf and a traditional country club atmosphere

Palmas del Mar wants to be your country club for a lifetime. The 36-hole club, and massive surrounding neighborhood, feels so different from many other Puerto Rico golf clubs. From the moment you enter the gate of the 3,000-acre property, it feels more like a private club than the island's other resort courses. But don't worry. Palmas del Mar doesn't come off as a stuffy club. You're more than welcome to visit.
