Shane Reynolds, Outdoor Recreation Director and Outfitter

Join our Club staff as we visit beautiful Costa Rica and its outstanding Los Sueños Resort and Marina. Costa Rica is really a wonderful vacation destination. With one of the oldest and most stable democracies in the Americas, Costa Rica is relatively close to the U.S. and includes clean, uncrowded beaches; a happy, friendly population; and beautiful scenery. If you’re looking for a great fall vacation getaway, Costa Rica is the perfect choice. With ideal accommodations, adventure experiences and relaxation, what more could you ask for?

“Pura Vida” — The Good Life

Costa Rica is not only rich is biodiversity, it’s rich in culture and in happiness. According to the Happy Planet Index, Costa Rica is the greenest and happiest country in the entire world, by a substantial lead.

There is a saying in Costa Rica: “Pura Vida.” It means “the pure life” or “the good life.” You can say it as a greeting or as a response to, “How are you?” It sums up just about everything you need to know about the Costa Rican people and Costa Rica in general.

Los Sueños Resort and Marina is a hotspot for both inshore and offshore fishing. Costa Rica’s waters literally teen with big game: dorado averaging 40lbs, yellowfin tuna that push the 300lb mark and one of the largest concentrations of big Pacific sailfish found anywhere. In fact, Costa Rica boasts one of the healthiest billfish fisheries in the world, with 20-fish days being a common occurrence. Unusually calm waters and short rides to the fishing grounds cement the country’s place at the top of the big game fishing destinations.

Those in search of an unforgettable sport fishing experience need to look no further than Los Sueños Marina, home to an extensive charter fleet certified by the Costa Rican Ministry of Tourism. It is not just the offshore fishing that is good in this area, the inshore fishing offers a great opportunity for 50lb+ roosterfish and 40lb+ dorado. You can try your hand at trying to catch these on a fly rod as well as regular spinning rods. This area is one of the most consistent fishing grounds year-round and therefore attracts some of the world’s most passionate anglers.

The resort also offers golf. The La Iguana Golf Course features 18 championship holes with a 73.4 course rating, par-72 and slope 145. Playing the exotic 6,698-yard, Ted Robinson-designed golf course in Costa Rica would be any golfer’s dream. The naturally challenging layout will please players of all skill levels. The golf course is richly landscaped to include exotic native plants, banana trees and orchids, and is home to monkeys and more than 150 species of birds and local wildlife.

This exclusive Cordillera Ranch Signature Vacation is planned for our members and their guests, and accommodates a minimum of eight participants and a maximum of 12. For more information or to reserve your spot, contact Shane Reynolds.

Manager's Message

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.

Tennis and Pickleball

Why the right equipment matters in Tennis and Pickleball

When it comes to tennis and pickleball, skill and strategy are crucial. But without the right equipment, even the most talented players can struggle to perform at their best. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, using proper gear can make a significant difference in your performance, safety and overall enjoyment of the game.
