Golf Course Real Estate in Coronado

Golf communities in Panama have always been attractive real estate for both buyers and renters looking to live or invest in Panama and there are some big reasons why.

For one they offer security; a gated community is often a priority in Panama. They also often offer amenities like pools, spas, restaurants, and bars. But what really makes a golf community in Panama attractive, goes beyond the greens, prestige and piña coladas. 

Since not all golf real estate in Panama was created equal, let’s take a look at Coronado, Panama, and the key factors that make the Coronado community an ideal place to live. 

Coronado is in Panama’s Dry Arc 

Coronado is situated within an extremely unique environment known as a tropical dry forest. The community boasts the Coronado Dry Forest Reserve, which spans approximately 45 hectares and is the largest dry forest reserve in Panama.

The protected space in the community is home to a wide variety of species. Some of these species remain dormant in inclement weather, like budding flowers, seeds, and fruits, while others are migratory birds passing across the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor. 

While these species of birds might be in more abundance in denser forests like the pipeline in Panama City, the chance of actually spotting one of these birds is much greater on a golf course!

Located right next to the protected dry forest, the Coronado golf course is a secret birders’ paradise! Among the birds you can spot in Coronado are nesting colonial wading birds, caracaras, cormorants, barred antshrikes, and the loud, colorful, orange-chinned parakeet. 

It’s not just birds that frequent Coronado; visits from a friendly sloth or iguana are common in your backyard. 

The Coronado Golf & Country Club Community 

Founded in 1941 by Roberto Eisenmann, Coronado is one of Panama’s oldest resort communities. With the golf course coming into operation in 1973 and the Coronado Golf & Beach Resort hotel coming in 1994, Coronado quickly became cottage country for Panamanians and a retirement hot spot for expats from around the world.

Over the past decade, Coronado has evolved, growing to offer an international school (Coronado International School) and a private clinic (San Fernando Clinic). 

Today in Coronado, there are yoga classes, happy hours, local markets, international schools, doctors, and grocery stores. By this description, Coronado is the epicenter of community activity in the Pacific Beaches.

Coronado Lifestyle 

Coronado offers tranquil nature and empty beaches without losing its proximity to grocery stores, banks, medical centers, and International schools. There are only a few places in the world that have managed this. Coronado has no commercial beachfront real estate, making the beach a place to escape. This is a feeling like no other, a sense of relaxation that only a few are so lucky to know. Saying goodbye to stress requires no major sacrifices here; you can disconnect while staying connected to your cable and wifi. 

That’s not to say that no sacrifices will be made. Over the years, Coronado has become notorious for its bumpy roads, a battle your shocks will take the brunt of. But it’s a small price to pay, or a sign to slow down to stop and smell the roses.
