Santo Domingo.– The Dominican Republic is hot, and the pace of openings seems likely to establish the country as the Caribbean’s choice golf destination.

One course that has gotten recent attention is Punta Espada, the first at Cap Cana and a Jack Nicklaus signature, which opened in 2006. The 7,382-yard route includes eight oceanside holes and others that make use of the area’s bluffs and beaches.

In Punta Cana, Nick Faldo’s Roco Ki Resort opened in 2007, as did Nick Price’s Punta Blanca near the new Majestic Colonial Beach Resort. (more…)
