First Ever PGA Tour In Puerto Rico
We mentioned this a few months back when it was announced that the PGA would be holding there first ever tour here in Puerto Rico. Well with just under 2 months to go, we thought we should give it another mention.
On March 17 to 23 the Puerto Rico PGA Open will take place at the Coco Beach Golf & Country Club. This is awesome news for golf fans here in Puerto Rico and I am sure there will be hundreds of fans traveling from the States as well.
The Coco Beach Golf & Country Club is 14 miles east of San Juan and the 36 hole golf course was designed by PGA tour professional Tom Kite. The course has been designed so that the four nine hole courses offer the golfer different dramatic landscapes; mountain, ocean, lakes and palms.
The Puerto Rico PGA Open will be televised by the Golf Channel (times will be announced closer to the date). So if you are unable to be here, you can sit at home and enjoy it at your leisure.
