    much improved

    The course has qualified for the Latin American PGA Tour and has a three year contract. The greens are much better and the course challeging. The Club house is very nice and the menu offers nice choices.

    Good course and facility

    A little expensive, but if you are the only course in a tourist area, you can name your price. Not crowded, good caddies, very close to hotel (they shuttled you to and from). Club rentals or storage very reasonable. Would definitely do it again.

    The only game in town....

    I always bring my clubs when visiting Playa Dorada, and play this course. It's the only game in town - no other golf course in the area (Playa Grande is over an hour away, currently closed, and will be very expensive when it re-opens). Yes,...More

    Stayed across the street at the Sunscape Resort. Played golf on Saturday 2/17/18. Course was very wet, cart parts only, cost $96 plus $20 Caddie fee playing after 3pm. Caddie could not speak any English, so he was useless. Staff was unfriendly, rental clubs were...More

    the course was not that great, the greens were burned and the golf carts were sketchy, we had a great caddie Manuel that made the round bareable, very pricey but the best in the area. I would recommend an early tee time. make sure to...More

    Average course; very high prices

    This course would cost about $30 to $50 to play in Canada. It's nice, but nothing special and very wet in places. The green fees are around $90, and you must employ and "tip" a caddy.
