The history of golf in Panama traces back to 1918, post-Armistice, when army and navy officers, seeking leisure expansion, reminisced about the golf they had played in the United States. Yearning to relive their favorite sport, they laid the foundation for the Panama Golf Club.

Throughout history, the Panama Golf Club found various locations, but its most memorable was in San Francisco on Vía Porras (1922-1974). Host to significant tournaments from 1952, including the inaugural golf tournament organized by Dick Dehlinger, it moved to Cerro Viento in 1974. The fourth headquarters, inaugurated on April 23, 1977, now spans 124 hectares in Cerro Viento, 30 minutes from Panama City. Designed by Architects Jay Riviere and Charles Schaeffer, supervised by Carlos Arosemena Lacayo, the 18-hole par 72 course features a 6-hole junior course, a Club House, and a Driving Range. The facility includes irrigated fairways, golf cart paths, two indoor tennis courts, two outdoor tennis courts, adult and children's pools, a sauna, Proshop, bar service, restaurants, and four event halls.

From 2004 to 2017, it was an official stop on the PGA Tour and hosted the 2017 Latin American Amateur Championship, granting winners direct entry into prestigious championships like the MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIP, THE OPEN, U.S. OPEN, AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP, U.S. AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP, and any other tournaments organized by the USGA.
