Corales GC
DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS
The back nine generates an encore crescendo
with a trio of finishing holes boasting the
sinister handle of The Devil’s Elbow. The Par
4, 501-yard 18th hole tests your will with a
dramatic forced carry over the cliff-lined Bay
of Corales. This is more than a dogleg right,
it’s an “I dare you” leap over a gaping left to
right cove. Prepare for a second shot that
demands steely nerves on to yet another
green that’s engulfed by the ocean.
This one-of-a-kind finisher provides a golf
exclamation point to an already exhilarating
round. To truly appreciate what has taken
place over the past four hours, glance back
and reflect on what you’ve just completed.
With ocean waves crashing around you, it’s
time to let go, reach your arms to the sky, and
do your best Leonardo DiCaprio “I’m King of
the World” rendition.
After shaking hands with your playing
companions, it’s hard not to check out the

group marches back to the clubhouse. You
feel the cell phone in your pocket again stir
into lift-off mode. You smile and acknowledge
that there’s no harm in sharing Corales with
the folks back home. With the click of a
button you convey to friends, “Corales. Wish
you were here.”
PUNTA CANA BLISS
Whether you’re a social media maven or
someone who prefers experiencing a special
golf moment in silent bliss, there’s no denying
that Fazio’s composition of ocean art has
stolen your heart. Somewhere you imagine
a golf architect turned cowboy riding off in
the distance. Adios Amigo, it was a blast living
large in Punta Cana.
