Panama Golf Travel Agent Guide

The most powerful tool to sell the most exclusive golf resorts in Central America

There’s a reason why Panama is becoming the new name whispered among top golf agents.
Where city and beach meet luxury, and two world-class Nicklaus Design courses set the standard for Central American golf travel.

✔️ The Santa María, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Golf Resort — urban elegance, minutes from Panama City’s financial district and Tocumen Airport.
✔️ The Buenaventura Golf & Beach Resort, Autograph Collection — Pacific coast serenity, where golf meets the ocean breeze.

Two resorts.
Two lifestyles.
One country that connects both — literally.

And here’s why agents love selling Panama:
Because it’s easy.
One rate — valid all year.
One flight — two worlds.
One contact — that’s all you need.

Simple. Profitable. Seamless.

This guide gives you everything you need to sell Panama in minutes
