This course, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean, was
designed by the celebrated architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., on
an area of more than 150 hectares (370 acres), it was inaugurated
in 1997. 10 of the 18 holes are played along the seacliffs, bays
and overlooking gulfs. Also spectacular is the exciting Playa
Grande Beach, the most impressive of the island. The whole area
will be developed over the next few years with hotels, villas,
residential resorts, and sport facilities.
Located on the North Coast, which gets significantly
more rain, Playa Grande is another with unmatched coastal scenery.
This Robert Trent Jones Sr., 7,046-yard par-72 beauty is sitting
atop a cliff with 12 of the holes bordering the ocean and six will
challenge you with forced carries over craggy barrancas.
It was one of RTJ's last designs before his death.
D.R. golfers say this is the most scenic of all the island golf
courses with views of the Atlantic Ocean atop 100-foot bluffs.
