Many of its golf courses are the work of some of the best in the business, including luminaries such as Pete Dye, PB Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Gary Player, Nick Price and Robert Trent Jones Sr.
These guys are good – and so are their amazing creations, several of which are laid out in stunning coastal settings.
They have also garnered critical acclaim. Of Dominican Republic’s 18 tourist-friendly golf courses, seven are included in Golfweek’s Best Caribbean and Mexico Courses for 2016, which recognizes the region’s top 50 courses. Three of them are in the top dozen, with the Nicklaus masterpiece Punta Espada at Cap Cana maintaining the number one spot every year since 2009, when it took over from veteran Pete Dye design, Teeth of the Dog.
The recently-revamped Playa Grande course also returned to the rankings this year in the number 21 spot.
No wonder Dominican Republic is known as the Golf Capital of the Caribbean.

Underlining that, it was named Latin American & Caribbean Golf Destination of the Year for 2016 in the IAGTO Awards, the third time it has been recognized in the golf tourism industry’s prestigious annual honor roll.
