Golf property in Belize … but Isn’t Belize all about diving?

Yes Belize is famous for diving – offering some of the best dive spots in the Western Hemisphere.  The Great Barrier Reef (the second largest in the world, after Australia, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site) runs for 260 km along its Caribbean coastline.  
Belize is not known as a golfing destination.  In fact if you’re a Belize real estate investor looking for a vacation home on a golf course in Belize, your only option – right now - is to purchase at Consejo Shores.  The project is located near Corozal in the northern part of the country, close to the border with Mexico.  Here you can play to your heart's content on a 9 hole golf course.  

There’s also a completed golf course on Caye Chapel which you can get to on a 10 minute flight from Belize City.  Its 18 holes take up the entire island  - so there’s no space for your golf condo  - but there’s certainly a bit of cache in playing here on an island surrounded on all sides by the azure waters of the Caribbean.  The other place for a round is the Roaring River executive-type 9-hole course near Belmopan.

Looking to the future, we note that Dreamscapes of Belize, a master planned community in the San Creek district of Belize, has announced plans for a 9 hole golf course.   The project lies close to the Mullins River and within a 15 minute walk to the Caribbean Sea.  So perhaps one to come back to later if the developers complete on their master plan.

So, for now, golf choices are limited in Belize.  The may be more courses developed in the future by developers keen to attract the golfing demographic and raise project land values.  But for now, if you’re a real golfing enthusiast, you’ll find other countries in Central America have more options for golf property.  So look elsewhere.  Or take up diving!
