Only the third golf course to be built in the DR, Playa Dorada is part of the 15-hotel Playa Dorada resort complex.

Hazim says that the course is not a Players Championship (TPC) course for professional golfers. Rather it is one to be played and to be enjoyed, he explains.

Robert Trent Jones designed it specifically with the hotel guests in mind as a flexible and versatile golf course — a resort course. “The design makes the course as easy to play or as difficult as you choose. It offers the player the freedom to play at three levels – amateur, beginner or professional,” says Hazim.
