Golf near Sosua
If you are a fairly serious golfer you have a few choices:
I have played Playa Grande quite a few times [photo right] and it is just over 40 minutes away.
Click on the link for further information. It is quite simply one of the finest in the Caribbean.
In my view it is worth the trip. If you have a non golfer with you they will enjoy driving around in the cart and enjoying the view.
Playa Grande If you don`t believe me on the view check out the photo left.
Please accept my apologies but it yours truly in a state of some euphoria after a rare victory against the good Ambassador.
The photo was taken on the 18th tee.
A nearer course is another Robert Trent Jones, Sr course located just 20 minutes away, in the beautiful Playa Dorada area. This Par 72, 18-hole course serves the 14 resorts within Playa Dorada.
It is a decent course and handy if you are staying in Sosua, Puerto Plata or Playa Dorada. Given the choice however I would drive the extra half hour to Playa Grande.
