I found out the day before our trip that this seasons Big Break on the Golf Channel was filmed here back in January 2013. My wife and I stayed at the Iberostar Grand which allows you to play 1 round for every 2 days you stay at the resort. I was fortunate to play the course twice and was not... More

This is every golfer's dream, a well designed course that is well maintained and no one is on it. Tee times are easy to come by. You can adjust the level of challenge based on the tees you play, here it does make a difference and not just another 50 yards to cover. Services are good, the refreshment cart makes... More

Played this course 4 times during March 24- April 1st 2013. All early morning rounds before 7am. The first 2 rounds the grounds were wet from over night rain and the course was playable, and the greens held. The last 2 rounds dry as a bone, with 20 MPH winds, it got ugly real quick. The 3 and 4 tier... More

Nice course, got a little backed up after 3 holes (bunch of single players or pairs behind a foursome). clubs were average (not as nice as I own in the States, but fine for renting). Course was just aerated, greens were fast and tough slope. Few narrow fairways, other than that open enough. No beach views, but understand why they... More

My family and I visited in March and I played my father. Won't say how bad he beat me, must have been the heat that day. This golf course is in amazing condition and every hole is a memorable challenge. Pete Dye was the architect of this course and its a must 18 hole course.

Played twilight 1pm. Was hot to begin, but clouds came in and cooled the course to a manageable temp. Upgraded club rental to Pings, worth the cost.

This is a good test of golf with some nice "get in the feel" opening holes. Holes 7 though 11 are a real good test and the meat of the course. You get a little break on 12 through 14 and then the course finishes strong. I have heard enough people talk about the toughness of the 18th. It seriously... More

A beautiful golf course with a grass driving range. I only wish that I got to play it again now that I know how the holes play best.

This is really a great resort course. The forward and White tee's are "relatively easy" while the Blue's and tips are quite challenging. Course is taken care of quite well and the green were wll manicured. Even after playing it four time's in the course of two weeks, I wasn't tired of it. If we stay at the Grand again... More

This is a great course to play. They were filming Big Break while we were there. They picked this course for a reason!
