Barcelo Bavaro Golf Course

If you are staying in the Bavaro or Punta Cana areas in the east of the Dominican Republic in an all inclusive and need a fix of golf, it is useful to have a course on hand!

This is the cases if only to get some peace from your partner or indeed to give them some peace from you!

Quite often resort courses are not quite as pristine as other private course and this is really no different. In fact it is a bit scruffy at
 the moment and probably best suited to those desperate to have a game or those who don`t play often and just want a thrash!

That said, it is in the process of being re-designed and so should be `spruced up` by the end of 2009. [cont right]

Designed by architect Juan Manuel Gordillo, its 18-hole par-72 golf course was opened in 1991.

Many holes are bordered by thick vegetation and others surrounded by a huge lake. The course has the occasional drainage issues and is perhaps avoided if it has been raining!

Each hole has three tees, classified for Ladies, Amateurs and Professionals.
