A note for golfers
FEDOGOLF is the Dominican Golf Federation and is composed of the Golf Clubs distributed throughout the country. the most important ones, for Dominican players, are Santo Domingo, Santiago, La Romana, Puerto Plata, and Jarabacoa. There is a club at Playa Grande that is new but active. Membership in one club does bring privileges to play at other clubes, but the membership in FEDOGOLF is the more important and brings the larger discounts. Membership also provides handicap cards just like the USGA.
The federation also has its own golf course, Las Lagunas, just to the North of Santo Domingo, and it is a very good track.
so...if you want to play a lot of golf while you are here, and not break the bank, please feel free to join. You will meet a lot of good folks that way.
