Hummmmmm, us po' folk in Santiago ain't so partikular as to who is or who isn't...
Anyway, I think that you can get a FEDOGOLF card if you are here. For any resident that plays golf it is a very good deal:
You get a free round of golf (only pay for cart and caddy--if required) at the following
BArcel? B?varo-- no blackout days
Bonao -- no blackout days
Cocotal -- from April to October
Teeth of the Dog (Diente de Perro) -- April to October
Dye Fore -- April to October
Guavaberry -- April to October
Jarabacoa -- No blackout dates
Las Lagunas (outside Santo Domingo--the National Golf Course)--Monday thru Friday only, but no blackout except Sat and Sun...
Links (Casa de Campo) -- April to October
Metro (Guayacanes) -- April to October
Playa Dorada -- May to October
Playa Grande -- June -- October
Punta Cana -- April to October
Santiago -- No blackout days
Membership at Santiago Golf Club is RD$5D00 + RD$4000 for one year dues.
You do get reduced rates at some of the other clubs.
No caddies are required. You can walk, if you are in shape. Carts are RD$400.
Beer is cold and cheap. Folks are sort of nice.
