Golf Club Playa Dorado
Fairways are surrounded by a 1st cut of rough from which the ball is sometimes easily played other times not. Beyond the 1st cut you could find beach, water, tropical forest or gardens. A Robert Trent Jones Sr. course. Not much change in elevation but that was expected from the landscape the course is set in. The course has good variation in style of holes. On some you can really grip it and rip it while on others you have to place your tee shot carefully to make the most of it. The vegetation varies throughout the course. Tall trees and wetland in one area, palm trees and tall grass in another and rough vegetation along the beach.

Enjoy your vacation
Reviewed December 9, 2018
I have played this course more then 200 times. I have played better courses in Canada, States and Europe but I keep coming back. The condition of this course could be better but has improved over the last two years because of the Latin American PGA tour playing there. If the tour is playing there two years in a row it can be that bad. Some Caddies struggle with the English language but they try and you really can communicate with them. There are many very golf educated caddies that can really play the game and could possibly help yours if you ask. The course is surrounded by all inclusive resorts, all within a 7 minute walk of pro shop. The layout is flat but very nice. It grows on you after a while. It’s not cheap but if you buy several games in a package they are cheaper. Tipping of caddies range from nothing (don’t recommend) to what ever you feel. Give it a try.
Great holiday course
Reviewed July 24, 2018
I have played this course several times and found it to be perfect for holiday golfers of any handicap. Speaking of handicaps, it appears that the reviewer named Crossan thinks the caddies who are trying to make a living resemble monkeys and the Caddy Master is an imbecile. Perhaps he/she should just stay in their little cave and not travel. Better for them and definitely better for the rest of humanity.
I highly reccomend this course.
Much Improved
Reviewed April 23, 2017
The course has suffered from a lack of TLC and investment for the last few years. That has however, changed with the Latin America PGA event taking place this Jun (2017).
Work has been done and continues on drainage. Areas of fairways have been relayed and the greens have improved immeasurable in the last couple of weeks. They have top dressed the greeen 3 times that I know of and scarified tee boxes and greens.
The bunkers still require much work.
This is a lovely resort golf course with great vista's all round. The caddies are a must or you would be stuck behind resort golfers for hours. My caddie got us through a 3 ball who hit the ball had a couple of swigs of beer enjoying there day on the course.
The fairways are being shaped and both fairway and first cut fed so it is beginning to show some teeth.
I played the same day as the qualifier for the PGA event and trust me their are some great pin positions on these greens.
The new President and his team should be commended for the improvement and given our support.
