Barcelo Golf in Punta Cana is being remodelled. The course, originally designed by Spaniard Juan Manuel Gordillo, had opened in 1991 and then was the first in the region. The course is now only operating as an 9-hole course. Holes 10-18 are being remodelled. Golf architect PB Dye is responsible for the new design. Plans are to close holes 1-9 in March for the remodelling. Then the course would open its full 18 holes in time for the winter season.
