Playa Grande Golf Course
Avid Caribbean vacation golfers
are well aware of the world
famous golf courses of the
Dominican Republic . The "Teeth
of the Dog," located at Casa
de Campo, along with the "Links" and
several other courses have
made the Dominican Republic
into a golfer's paradise. Joining
that illustrious list of courses
is the " Pebble Beach of the
Caribbean " located along the
pristine northern coast within
10 minutes of our vacation
villa rental.
Considered by many golfers
to be one of the best courses
in the Caribbean, the Playa
Grande Golf Course is more
than just holes on the ocean;
it is majesty itself perched
along 100-foot tall sea cliffs
with 10 of its links hugging
the cliffs, offering a full
golf pro shop, club house and
excellent restaurant facilities.
During your stay in our spectacular
Dominican Republic vacation
villa, take in the wonder of
the Playa Grande Golf Course
and then do some sightseeing
in nearby Cabarete or select
from a huge choice of local
sports and activities.
Playa Grande Golf Course,
often referred to as the "Pebble
Beach of the Caribbean," is
located only 10 minutes from
the front door of the villa.
This magnificent course is
one of the most playable and
most beautiful in the entire
Caribbean, located right in
the Dominican Republic. The
old saying of "challenging
for experts but playable by
all" is very apt here;
scratch golfers from the back
tee will need to carry over
ocean sea-cliffs on at least
six holes while newer golfers
have a leisurely tour on a
world-class course.
This is the perfect destination
for your golf vacation this
year!
Designed by the celebrated
golf course architect Robert
Trent Jones, Sr. on more than
150 hectares (370 acres), the
course boasts 10 holes hugging
the ocean with challenging
cross gusts from the cliffs.
Robert Trent Jones created
this course as his most magnificent,
he is said to have actually
burst into tears when he heard
he was chosen as the architect.
Inaugurated in 1997, it overlooks
Playa Grande Beach, cited
as one of the most impressive
and pristine beaches in the
Caribbean!
The golfers can hit the links
while the sun worshipers hit
the beach; a perfect tropical
getaway for the entire family!
Playa Grande, beach and golf
course, is not just a good
vacation course; it is a great
golf vacation course, period!
If it were located in higher
priced areas in North America
, such as Florida , it would
sell out everyday for premium
green fees. In the Dominican
Republic, it is a mere $75
USD!!!
