With seven golf courses
offering 86 holes on or
overlooking the ocean, the
Dominican Republic truly
is golf’s Caribbean queen.
Dubbed the “Pebble Beach
of the Caribbean” for its
dramatic layout, every one
of Playa Grande’s 18 holes offers stirring views of the Atlantic
Ocean, more than half of them playing right along the edge of
100-foot sea cliffs. It’s reopening, following a redesign of six of
the course’s back nine holes to accommodate the new Amanera
Resort hotel on the cliff edge, has resulted in the final five
holes being routed along the cliffs parallel to the ocean. This
takes the country’s total of ocean view holes from 68 to 86,
while the number of holes alongside the sea has gone up from
the previous 27.

Offering three dozen
golf courses around the
country, Morocco has
plenty to enthral visitors
on a golfing break. But
the country’s allure
extends far beyond its
verdant fairways and
greens. There’s a world of possibilities waiting for those
who want more from their golf holiday – whether you
prefer to visit cultural sites and historic attractions,
admire its Moorish architecture, go shopping in ancient
souks or modern retail centres, enjoy mouth-watering
cuisine, hit the beach or simply relax at your hotel,
everything is close to the fairways, giving the chance to
enjoy them at leisure after a round.
