Golf lovers know it well: if there is a fabulous destination in the Caribbean to enjoy their favorite sport, that is the Dominican Republic, Golf Destination of the Year 2019 in Latin America and the Caribbean, recognized by the IAGTO Awards granted by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators\u00a0The distinction as the Best Golf Destination, which the Dominican Republic already had last year, has only increased its international prestige among fans of this sport. This popularity supports the level of the growing list of design golf courses signed by figures such as Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Gary Player, Tom Fazio, Nick Price or Greg Norman. Golf courses whose streets are beautifully framed between exotic palm trees, profuse vegetation and hills that bathe the warm rays of the Caribbean sun.<\/p>\n

Also a little further south, in La Romana, there are several top-notch courses. Other regions of the country where golf tourism is a booming segment are Santo Domingo and Juan Dolio; Puerto Plata and R\u00edo San Juan; and, in the central area of \u200b\u200bthe Dominican Republic, Santiago, Bonao and Jarabacoa.\u00a0The Dominican tourism website dedicates a section to golf tourism, with detailed information on all fields, including location and characteristics<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
