About Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club
.jpg){kind=link}
Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club is a private residential community near Cabrera, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Its 18-hole golf course began as a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design and was later renovated by his son Rees Jones. Ten holes play directly on the ocean, which the club says is the most in the Western Hemisphere.
- The last five holes run along the ocean, on cliffs above the water.
- All 18 holes have a view of the ocean.
- The course is nicknamed the Pebble Beach of the Caribbean.
- Discovery Land Company develops and operates the community around the course.
History of Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club
Rees Jones's renovation re-routed part of the back nine and reversed holes to open up more views of the Atlantic. The changes also made room for the Amanera resort.
