History of Mayan Golf Club
Mayan Golf Club was founded in 1918 as the Pamplona Golf Association and is recognized as the first golf club in Central America. Over the decades it has carried two names, Pamplona Golf Association and Mayan Golf Club. The club had to relocate several times, and its present home at Finca El Zarzal was inaugurated in 1964. The club has since hosted national and Central American championships.
