Faldo Legacy Course

The new golf course at Roco Ki Resort is the Faldo Legacy Course, the first designed by Nick Faldo in the DR, using local vegetation and highlighting the spectacular landscape. The Troon course is half way to completion, and its first nine holes are already playable. Holes 17 and 18 are designed to take a golfer’s breath away. No. 17 is a short par three to a green, neatly placed on a rocky cliff between 90 and 135 yards away, with waves crashing all around. Construction is progressing on the course so that it may fully open jointly with the Westin Roco Ki, scheduled for a summer opening.
