Playa Grande Golf Club

If you’re already dreaming about playing the Playa Grande Golf Course, we are kicking it up a notch. This phenomenal playing experience, prized for its unmatched 10 holes on the ocean, the most of any course in the Western Hemisphere, and its classic design by Robert Trent Jones Sr., is experiencing a glorious revival under the guidance of his son, Rees Jones. With deep respect for the legacy created by his father, Rees is leading a thoughtful renovation aimed at enhancing playability while elevating the challenge for golfers of every level.

Set along the dramatic cliffs of the Dominican Republic’s north coast near Río San Juan, Playa Grande is often described as the “Pebble Beach of the Caribbean”, but it quickly proves to be a destination with a character all its own. Towering bluffs, crashing Atlantic waves, and sweeping panoramic views accompany players throughout the round, creating a sense of scale and intensity rarely matched. The ocean is not just a backdrop here; it is a constant presence, influencing both strategy and atmosphere on nearly every hole.

Beyond its breathtaking setting, the course delivers a refined and immersive golfing experience. The renovation has carefully modernized greens, bunkering, and routing, ensuring that each hole feels both timeless and contemporary. Wide fairways invite confident drives, while coastal winds and subtle contours demand precision and creativity on approach shots.

Complementing the course is the understated luxury of the nearby Amanera, which brings a sense of exclusivity and tranquility to the entire destination. Together, they create more than just a round of golf, it’s an escape into raw natural beauty, elevated design, and the enduring spirit of the game.
