A well designed course that needs a lot of work. Sand traps and greens are in in terrible shape. Needs more than the grass cutting to keep it going. Hard to believe that this was once a top 100 Golf Digest course in 2005 - very sad and definitely not worth the green fee that is being asked. Unfortunately, there... More

This is a very nice course that I enjoyed playing - we had no difficulty arranging tee times for our group of 8 to 10 golfers. The caddies (which are required) are very helpful. The course is not well-drained and the ground remains soaked for days following any rain - pretty much making the entire course cart-path only. The traps... More

We quite enjoyed our round at Playa Dorada Golf Course but there were a few things that turned us off a bit. #1 - We were supposed to get a 20% discount on green fees for staying at the Riu complex which we didn't receive. #2 - The caddies tell a sob story about how they do not receive any... More

now you have to have a caddy as well as a cart. tip your caddy before your start. there very good and very experienced, but if you dont tip them at the start be ready to be ambushed near the end of your round. we were approached and asked for a 50$ tip, which was ridicoulus. dont be pressured.

There had been three days of rain when we first arrived, so the course was drenched. Our shoes were a mess, and we had to use the cart paths - which made it a long round. The actual course wasn't too bad, but it was just too wet. More

Very good course, well maintained. Not too difficult, but does have some challenging shots/holes. I don't think to have a choice here but to get a caddie, never the less, it is worth it! These guys know the course, are very helpful, and are very appreciative of anything you do for them, whether its buying them a beer on the... More
