Nothing is impossible, but find it unlikely the golf course will be built. Samana is a jewel of a place, but the expensive toll road, and the announcement by JetBlue of the suspension of the NYC flight are not contributing to the numbers needed to build and maintain a golf course. In my opinion, the golf course will neither be the draw to make the difference.
Always in the planning and the location is well known to residents of Las Terrenas. Land had been secured and pleasing to hear they are about to start........again?
The location is clearly evident form the Google Earth map below.
Plenty of Europeans play golf and live locally in this expanding community.

not true totally.
yes they are building less but the economy has been so bad, its just a correction. There are in fact projects in various stages of construction in USA. Golf playing is not declining per se. You may see smaller courses like 9 hole courses, they are getting popular again.
I read somewhere that the number of players have decline steadily because they didn't manage to attract new players (especially among young generations).
golf is going no where anytime soon.
Is that what I said ?? I said the number of players/golf courses has been declining in the US, there are still millions of players and courses being built despite that trend. And, it is growing in other parts of the world.

testy aren't we? I was not arguing with you!

Oh, I understand... I myself quit after a lifetime of golf, and a single digit handicap
You're right, the younger generation is not entering and the older are giving it up.
Where does that lead? Less players.
Read the USGA stuff - they're worried and trying to reverse the exit flow.
Too many exiting, not enough entering....simple
We'll see
