Pizá Golf bringing wellness concept to Costa Rica

Pizá Golf will design a unique nine-hole golf course based on their award-winning Wellness Golf concept at The Residences at The St. Regis Papagayo Resort in Costa Rica.

Pizá Golf has pioneered wellness-centric golf courses, enabling guests to commune with nature while playing the game. “Wellness Golf invites both golf enthusiasts and beginners to engage in this activity with a relaxed and appreciative mindset,” Pizá Golf founder and director Agustin Pizá said. “The Residences at The St. Regis Papagayo Resort ethos is dedicated to Costa Rica's ‘Pura Vida’ which aligns perfectly with our Wellness Golf concept.”

Wellness Golf enhances well-being with its serene design. Visitors use the course for meditation, while families and corporate groups enjoy its inclusive and sociable environment. Wellness Golf at The Residences at The St. Regis Papagayo Resort offers a personalized experience. Participants can play barefoot to connect with nature or stick to traditional play, aligning with their wellness level.

“Our goal is to provide spaces that inspire connection — with nature, with each other, and with oneself,” said Alberto Halabe, partner at Solana, which is developing the property. “Pizá Golf’s Wellness Golf concept reflects the essence of Costa Rica’s Pura Vida lifestyle and offers a welcoming environment for residents of all skill levels to enjoy.”

The Wellness Golf concept won the Global Future Award and was featured at the USGA Innovative Symposium in Japan and MIPIM in France. This concept promotes a relaxed, inclusive approach to golf for all skill levels and is gaining global popularity.
