Golf
is one of the Dominican Republic's top attractions, and is well known
among the golf tourism.
What makes golf so popular is the combination of outstanding year round summer and the varied terrain.
Caribbean weather allows to play even during rainy days, when brief showers are shortly replaced by a blue shiny sky.
Course architects have incorporated hills and coastline into the design in order to double the challenge of the golfers.
