The Tucan Golf course in Panama is just outside Panama City. This 6,618 yard, par 72 championship course is bordered by tropical rain forest and has views of the skyscrapers of Panama City as well as the Bridge of the Americas crossing the Panama Canal.

Tucan was designed by American golf course architect Jeffrey Meyers and built by Gregori International and is one of the most challenging golf courses in Panama.

The front nine on Tucan is the part bordered by rainforest and frequented by birds you thought only existed in magazine photos while the back nine opens up to vistas of the city and the Panama Canal.

True its reputation as a championship course Tucan has its share of water hazards in the line of play as well as to the side of play. This course is playable and impeccably maintained year round, including during Panama’s rainy season.

As a country club Tucan has villas and apartment for living on site where you can play a championship level golf course every day of the year. Homes at Tucan range from 2,300 to 5,000 square feet and feature elegant designs for luxurious living.

Playing golf in Panama means two seasons, wet and dry. The summer in Panama runs from December to May and means Tucan needs to water its fairways and greens. Winter in Panama is the rainy season from May to December when Tucan turns off the tap. Despite the fact that rainfall in Panama is measured in feet instead of inches Tucan is designed so that the course is playable year round although you will probably want to sit out the hour-long afternoon shower in the clubhouse.

After some time without a new place to go, rock music lovers in Panama can come to the new Madame Blanche Rock Lounge.

This new haven for rockers is located in the popular bar and discotheque district of Panama City, Calle Uruguay. You will find it easily, because it’s located right above the Sahara bar and restaurant.
