drtampa said:I played Playa Dorado twice last week along with playing Playa Grande, Jarabacoa, and Santiago (Hillbilly and Grahame). Gotta use the "free" Fedogolf rounds wnen you can.
I have never seen such a complete turn around from the condition of PD for the past several Christmas'.
The course was as near perfect as possible. Fairways were lush and excellent. The greens had a few places that were cut too closely but were up to Playa Grande's current standards.
I did not find any changes in the course itself from renovation but I was most impressed by condition. Carts were 90 degree, but I walked without having to dodge any wet spots.
drtampa said:Playa Grande and Playa Dorado same condition, excellent, but it has not been raining for some time. Both are overpriced without Fedogolf. Nothing has changed at Playa Grande course or hotel.
Scenery and price go to Santiago. Jaracaboa is beautiful but no overlooks.
Jarabacoa had just plugged and sanded four of their their greens. The other five are some of the quickest I have ever played, and I have played many of the USA's top courses. Greens are small and all are crowned.
Santiago is the toughest followed by Jarabacoa, Playa Grande and Playa Dorado. I just cant seem to put together a good round in Santiago and I never fail to break 80 at Playa Dorado (handicap 11.1).
Too much breakfast & chat with Asuncion causes the Santiago poor rounds! :classic:drtampa said:............ I just cant seem to put together a good round in Santiago ........

Anyway, we had some good fun! Also good to know that Pg is coming back as i remember it!!
Thanks for the post
