Affordable but slow pace
It’s one of the cheapest places to play 18 holes in the area. With that in mind, for the price, it was an ok round of golf. The course layout was open and some greens were patchy. The pace of play was slow. You get a sandwich but drinks and chips are a couple dollars. Not a bad place, just a little rough around the edges. Very strict on dress code (women, cover your shoulders).
Average experience
The golf course is worth the reduced green fee, but nothing more. The bunkers were unfortunately mostly as hard as concrete.
Decent day out if you really want to play some golf
This course is ok if you really want to play some rounds at one of the cheaper courses around Punta Cana.
Nothing special but if you get it on Golf Now it may
make sense price wise. It attracts lots of player due to lower price so prepare for at least 4.5h. Call the Proshop to get a ride from your hotel. The range balls are not very good. Pay the extra to get better clubs if you rent ($35-55), the cheaper ones are not that great. If you play in the afternoon, maybe call in advance to make sure the clubs are reserved for you, otherwise you may have to wait for somebody to finish.
Rude staff and poorly maintained, highly overrated!
When going into the pro shop the workers were not pleased with the outfits that the we were wearing. We were not aware that there was a dress code for the course and requiring girls to buy clothes from the store in order to fit the dress code was unexpected. On top of that, they were criticizing what one of the girls was wearing in Spanish knowing that she did not speak Spanish, which left her feeling judged and disrespected. It is very strange to see a course that was not that great have the standards of a high end course. Myself and other have played at nicer courses wearing the same thing that we did today with no issues what so ever. Staff also criticized our ability to play by saying that we weren’t that good and we need to keep up with the pace of play which is very disrespectful for to say when you don’t even know how we play. Overall the staff was disrespectful and it was disappointing to go into a course with the expectation that it would be enjoyable and have that expectation be diminished within minutes of walking in.
Nice course
First time playing this course.
Fairways wide open.
Greens in good condition.
Par 3s challenging.
The free lunch is terrible. A little chicken on a bun. Dry and no flavor. Just skip it.
Overall a nice course and we will be playing it again.
Only played 9 due to them holding a tournament and not telling anyone.
Would love my money back for the back 9 I couldn’t play.
Great course for the value
Open and mostly straight.. absolutely picturesque.. play here every time I’m in the DR.
