Nunca ha habido un mejor momento para aprovechar el Golf en el Caribe!
He aquí una muestra de los mejores campos de golf en la zona.
Un destino favorito de golf de los ex presidentes Bill Clinton y George H. Bush, la República Dominicana se ha convertido en uno de los puntos más interesantes del Caribe, si no el mundo. Aquí encontrará varios campos de golf frente al mar y rodeados de palmeras de coco. También encontrará campos diseñados por leyendas como Pete Dye, PB Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Robert Trent Jones, Gary Player, Tom Fazio y Nick Faldo.
Los próximos años son especialmente importantes para el golf de la República Dominicana con unos cinco nuevos campos programados para abrir antes del 2015.
