Moncayo, a 1,100-acre luxury development along Puerto Rico’s eastern seacoast, recently introduced its Golf Club, designed in collaboration with UK-based golf course architecture firm Mackenzie & Ebert. Known for designing legendary courses across Europe, this marks Mackenzie & Ebert’s first golf course in the Caribbean.
Reserved exclusively for resident members and their guests, the Golf Club will welcome all skill levels and has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the natural beauty of the landscape, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, the El Yunque Mountains and the island’s pristine shoreline.
“Partnering with Mackenzie & Ebert to introduce this breathtaking golf course to the island was an easy decision, given their track record for crafting some of the most well-known golf clubs around the world,” Moncayo president Carter Redd said.
The club will feature an 18-hole championship golf course spanning more than 7,200 yards with six sets of tees, accommodating golfers of all levels of play. Each hole will be designed to effortlessly blend with the natural topography winding between the predominant hills across the course, as well as those playing along the coast.
The club will also feature El Yunquito, a one-acre putting course, and a reversible 9-hole short course.
“Designing our first course in the Caribbean has been an exciting challenge — one that allows us to blend renowned design with the natural beauty of Puerto Rico and the wonderful land at Moncayo as we grow our international footprint,” said Martin Ebert of Mackenzie & Ebert. “Our design seeks to respect and enhance the island’s natural landscape with a layout that challenges golfers while offering truly breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean and mountains for a unique sense of its location.”
Construction of the course is already underway, with shaping completed on the first four holes and progress continuing on practice grounds.
