Can anyone let me know what the cost is to get to Playa Granda form the resort Riu Merengue. We would like to play golf there. We have heard of a travel company call golf adventures that can gives a package for 155.00usd. Would this be the best way to go or is it better off going on your own. Can anyone tell me what the cost of the golf is including a cart?

That doesn't sound too bad if it includes the golf.

If that is just for the trip, well, it might be a little on the high side.

Green fees there are about US$90, including cart. Caddies are RD$300 for one guy to run along with you and they are very nice kids. and they are a big help on the monstrous greens, on the tee box and often times in the fairways....

So, if the package is golf included, you should take it...

Otherwise, you can get to Playa Grande much much cheaper...
