Dominican Republic Golf Vacations

Clear skies, warm weather and world class golf courses; the Dominican Republic truly is a golfer’s paradise. How many other golf destinations offer as many world-class golf courses with ocean vistas and where you can breathe the refreshing ocean breeze while teeing off from some of the best courses in the Caribbean? The answer: not too many. This is why the Dominican Republic is regarded as a premiere Caribbean golf destination.

Notable Dominican Republic Golf Courses

• Cocotal Golf Course and Country Club, Punta Cana (809.221.1290) – Designed by legendary Jose “Pepe” Ganced using the natural terrain and carefully places bunkers and trees for a challenging experience. Reservations are taken 24 hours in advance.
• Teeth of the Dog, La Romana (809.523.8115) – Once ranked as the 34th best course in the world and the best course in the Caribbean, this par 72 course attracts visitors, both pro and amateur, from around the world.
• Dye Force, La Romana (809.532.8115) – Designed by Pete Dye, this spectacular course opened in 2005 and offers ocean and mountain views.

One of the best ways to experience this golf Mecca is by taking advantage of Dominican Republic golf packages. In Punta Cana and around the Dominican Republic, resorts offer all inclusive accommodations and unlimited golf potential which makes it easy for any golf-enthusiast to enjoy the riches that the Dominican Republic has to offer.

Golf packages available through the resorts for many courses in the Dominican Republic offer all inclusive accommodations and golf fees for one price. For visitors who plan to play a couple rounds during their vacation, this is usually the best value. Check with local resorts to see which packages are available.
