Awesome Course - Fantastic Conditions

I have played Bahia Beach several times, and each time I play the course I love it. The conditions are always fantastic, the staff is always top notch and the scenery is the best.

The course is fantastic. I have played all the courses in Puerto Rico and this course is ALWAYS the best conditioned course on the island. I highly recommend this course. You will not be disappointed!

There is lots of water to make it very challenging, However, the fairways are wide and forgiving. The greens are smooth, fast with lots of humps and undulations to make them very challenging. The bunkers are a true challenge with soft, fluffy sand that will take all your skill to get out and get used to.

Bahia Beach is a 5 star experience all around. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to play in Puerto Rico.

Best Course in Puerto Rico

This is a very nice course with enough water to make it challenging, combined with wide fairways. there are several ocean holes worth bringing your camera for. Greens were very smooth and rolled fast and true. The sand in the traps is fluffy TV sand that will take you a bit to get used to.

Phenomenal

5 star experience all around. Even with intermittent rain which is obviously out of anyone’s control I thoroughly enjoyed this track. Layout, conditions, staff friendliness and pace of play were excellent. I will definitely return next time I visit the island and will recommend to others.

Highly recommended

Folks at the pro shop we’re very kind and accommodating. My driver snapped in my checked bag and they graciously loaned me one, a Titleiat D2.
Weather wasn’t great, windy and rainy, but the course still played great. Course drains really well as I was still Getting bounce and roll on drives in the fairways. Greens were great as well. No complaints whatsoever.
I highly recommend you visit this course if you’re on the island. I will definitely be back when I return to PR.

Challenging and long

Beautiful course with beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately during my play time a lot of construction and workers on and about. Groundskeepers too were busy fixing bunkers on at least 6 holes and always felt there was one groundskeeper waiting for me to tee off in order for him to work on the tee! Other than that the greens were nice and true and fast. Fairways in very good shape and weather fantastic. Shame only teo holes were on water/ocean although plenty of water throughout course layout.

Georgous course in Great Condition with ffriendly Service

This course never, ever, disappoints!!!

Fantastic course lay out. The course is always in great condition. I have played most of the courses in Puerto Rico and this course, by far, is always in the best condition and is always kept beautiful. The staff is always helpful, friendly and wanting to help. The best and most friendly staff on the Island. The practice facility is great and always in fantastic condition. Even after hurricane Maria in September of 2017, the course (April of 2018) is by far the best and nicest course in Puerto Rico.

My favorite course in Puerto Rico and you can usually get a great deal on TeeOff.com. If you are choosing between Bahia Beach and Dorado East. It is no comparison. Always choose Bahia Beach.

You have SPECTACULAR ocean views as you check into the course as well as on holes #16 and #18.

Beautiful Course and Great Conditions

It was an excellent course. From the time you arrive at the property until you leave, everything is first class. Staff was very friendly, helpful and wanting to help and assist. The course was in great shape. The greens were still recovering from being aerated a couple weeks ago, but they were recovered enough that they did not pose any issues or problems. From the putting green, driving range, to the on course tee boxes, fairways, greens and rough, were all tournament ready rival the conditions of ANY course I have played anywhere. This course has the best conditions of any course in Puerto Rico. The ocean views of holes 16 and 18 are spectacular while the other holes have beautiful views of the El Yunque rain forest and mountains. A must play in Puerto Rico if you want to play a great course with beautiful conditions. Check GolfNow.com because you can sometimes get a great deal.

Not bad

My biggest gripe is that the greens were aerated a week before I played. Which is fine but to charge full price (174) for aerated greens stinks. Anyways, besides that the only other complaint is the bunkers. On some of them there were rocks in them.

It is a very tight course with a bunch of water, sand and other hazards. If you not in the fairway or near you will lose your ball.

Overall I think it is a nice course and would play again.

Amazing Course and Views

Stayed at the St. Regis and was able to get out and play this beautiful course. The staff both at the pro shop and at the course were amazing. Fairways and greens were in great shape, but the views of the surrounding mountains and ocean were ridiculous. Lots of water and some tight tee shots, but had a great time!

A Wonderful Experience!

From the staff greeting us until we were done with our lunch after golf, it was a top quality experience. The course was in magnificent condition. Maybe the traps needed a little more sand. Lost a lot of balls but it didn't take away from the views and course conditions. Beyond expectations!

Wow, top notch

It was an excellent course. From the time you walk in the door until you leave, first class. Staff was very friendly and inviting. The course was in immaculate shape. From the putting green, driving range, to the on course tee boxes, fairways, greens and rough, all tournament ready. The only draw back that I had (not the courses fault) I was a single that caught the Ladies Member Guest Tourney and they were slow. But was able to enjoy the scenery. A must play in Puerto Rico, was able to get a rate of $115, on Teeoff.com.

Very nice. 4.5 stars

The quality of courses is always a mixed bag in the Carribean. You book a tee time at a course designed by a big name golf architect with good looking pictures on their website only to find the course hasn't been maintained in years. Bahia is now owned by St Regis and managed by Troon. You expect a quality golf experience and Bahia does not disappoint. Yes, it is expensive (I paid $205 through Golf Now. It's more if you just walk up) but I needed a prime weekend AM tee time. There are no prime time bargains around San Juan. I drove myself from downtown SanJuan. 40 minutes. Straight forward with Map Quest though San Juan can be a bit tricky. Get the easy pass with your rental. You'll pass through several toll gates. The course staff was great, especially the starter, who drove me out to the 11th as my initial hole, as I was playing as a single, to bypass multiple foursomes. He fit me in very nicely when I made the turn. This is not a good walking course. Too much distance between green and tee. The course was in excellent condition. Prior complaints about sand traps seem remedied. No bare spots in the fairways. This is a membership course and I assume it gets a lot of play, but there were no ball marks on the greens. They don't equal continental US Troon green quality, but they are very good by Caribbean standards. I took away 0.5 stars on my final rating only because the overall design Is a little boring. Even the oceanfront holes are a tad dull. A final word of advice: if you spray the ball off the tee, don't golf here. This is a tight course with either jungle or water everywhere.
