News Article By "Golf Digest Magazine" By Ron Kaspriske Photo By Dick Durrance March 2007 The Dominican Republic’s reputation as a golf destination began with Pete Dye’s Teeth of the Dog in La Romana, but it might be carried in future years by a boom of development on the island’s east coast. At the forefront are two resorts with magnificent seaside courses. Most of the direct flights from the eastern United States take less than four hours, making the Punta Espada Golf Course ($160, includes cart, practice balls). With eight seaside holes, Punta Espada, which opened in 2006, is a beautiful course (par 72 and 7,396 yards from the back tees) that can challenge anything in the West Indies in terms of scenery and playability. Get used to waves crashing in your backswing and trade winds affecting your putts, but wide fairways and greens make it fun from the correct set of tee markers. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, it’s being billed as the first of three Golden Bear courses at the monstrous Cap Cana resort and real-estate development that encompasses about 30,000 square acres.   Visit here: Just about any beach along the east coast is a picture of paradise, especially Cap Cana’s Caletón Beach Club. If you’re not playing golf, you should be flopping in the surf, which stays warm in the winter. Teeth of the Dog in La Romana is roughly two hours away and $100 by cab. Eat here: The food , stick to seafood and Spanish-style dishes, which are OK. The clubhouse at Punta Espada is an exception with a variety of quality selections. Travel advisory: Many airlines have direct flights. From New York, it’s three hours. Most cab rides will cost less than $30. On arrival, you’ll need your passport, and you’ll be charged a $10 tax. Don’t bother exchanging your dollars for Dominican pesos.
