Look, Playa Dorada is a Robert T. Jones course. That means it is very well designed in the first place.
The main issue has been maintenance, since play has dropped off and the hotels have been suffering. If there is no money, the course goes to pot.
The local Golf Club certainly cannot support the cost of maintenance. HOWEVER, if it can be kept up, it is a really good test of golf, with lots of risk-reward shots available (for those of you that know the course, think: Drive over the creek on 3, cut the corner on 4; over the hotel on 5; over the corner on 6 and over the water on 9. Then: bend it around the trees on 10; over the bunker on 12 (with the flag right?); over the palm trees on 13; over the canal on 14 and over the water on 18??? All have great rewards and terrible risks....Which makes for drama...
Let's hope that the course is in good shape and the players can show off their skills.
