Local Picks - Golf in Panama

These golf courses in Panama aren’t just pulled from a search engine or ad bids. Each one here is selected by locals who live and play in Panama. Our Local Experts team spends weekends on the course and chats with fellow players about what’s actually worth your time.

From quieter weekday tee times in the northern neighborhoods during spring, to courses that stand up well to Panama’s rainy season, these picks reflect real experience, not paid placements. If you’re new to Panama golf, try playing early mornings near Farber Hill in April or May. The weather’s mild, and the courses are less crowded than in summer. It’s a more laid-back way to enjoy your round, and you might catch some local chatter on the back nine.

Local tee time tip

If you’re looking to avoid the busiest times and get a relaxed round, try booking your tee time early morning during spring, especially around Farber Hill or Elkview areas in Panama. Locals say that late afternoons can be hit or miss depending on summer thunderstorms. Spring mornings not only offer better weather but also let you enjoy the quieter side of these courses before the day heats up. It’s a simple trick that adds to the experience without extra cost.
