Enjoying golf without pauses, at the best course in Panama, is possible. Thanks to the Try Before You Buy program, you can now live the whole Expat League experience, integrate into the community, and discover if Buenaventura is the place where you could stay and live.

Panama can offer you what no season in the north can guarantee: 365 days of uninterrupted golf. And if you’re looking for a destination where you can combine sports, community, beach, and quality of life, Buenaventura Golf Club is the place where it all comes together.

For years, Buenaventura has been chosen as the best golf course in Panama, according to the World Golf Awards™, a distinction that not only recognizes its technical level and landscaping but also the standard of excellence that defines it. 

Designed by the Nicklaus Design team, the course offers a strategic and sensory experience, with its undulating fairways, Corotú trees, and wide greens making it a stimulating challenge for both amateurs and demanding players. To play here is to face two different courses depending on whether the wind blows from the Pacific or not, something that few places in the world can offer with such naturalness.

But beyond the course itself, what distinguishes Buenaventura is its ability to host. At the beginning of every year, the club serves as the venue for the Expats League, a series of tournaments that have evolved into a meeting point for international players, temporary residents, and golf enthusiasts. Each edition brings together more than a hundred participants in an environment where sport is intertwined with social life, music, good food, and the camaraderie of a community that has decided to live differently.

The Expat League is not only a competitive circuit, but also a form of integration. With five dates and a grand finale in March, this initiative has solidified a network of relationships centered on the same passion. On each day, players not only compete; they share sunsets, cocktails, and unique moments in an environment that is cared for down to the last detail. For those considering Panama as a second home, participating in this league is a great way to connect with other expats, explore the local lifestyle, and become part of a community from the start.

And if the idea of waterfront golfing life begins to take shape in your mind, programs like Try Before You Buy make taking the plunge that much easier. You can live for a few weeks or months in Buenaventura, experience the surroundings, learn about available properties, and get personalized advice. The best part: if you decide to buy, the value of your stay is reimbursed. Additionally, with memberships explicitly designed for expatriates, such as the Expats Membership, you enjoy preferential access to the camp and can include your partner or children.

This summer could be the start of something bigger. While in the north, the heat is fleeting, in Panama, it is a constant part of life—a life where golf is not just an activity, but a way of life. And Buenaventura, that place where everything aligns, could be the first step towards your new home.
