James Mason Heads Off to the Dominican Republic, the IAGTO Award Winner for Latin America and the Caribbean All-Round Play n TRAVEL Dominican Republic o you’re standing on the first tee wearing your waterproofs, umbrella in hand as you try to keep your glove and grip dry from the torrential mid-afternoon S downpour. It’s a feeling we are all well- accustomed to during our monthly winter medals, but following two summers of short-changed sunshine and dreary August overcasts, the post-round chat has quickly turned to year-round golfing escapes at a cost that can stand the crunch of a global recession. As always, the Algarve and Spain are the most talked- about destinations. But with the euro so strong against the pound – and with everyone fishing around for the best deals – these are proving pricey options for a last- minute getaway. On top of the golf, there’s your food and travel, and any such trip would not be the same without a couple of nights based on a cheeky tipple or two. For those looking for something new, the Dominican Republic is a venue that has been turning heads recently. Admittedly it’s a bit far for a long weekend, but if you are looking for a week to escape the Great British gloom in favour of sandy white beaches, the IAGTO winner for Latin America and the Caribbean is a fine place to choose. Punta Cana is a popular choice of venue for some fantastic deals and courses, and many top golf-course architects are making a beeline for this easternmost coastline strip. Indeed, designs by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye are a common feature, with new courses on the menu from Nick Faldo, Nick Price and Tom Fazio. Rumours circulating that Tom Weiskopf and Greg Norman could soon be approached reveal the nature of the golf industry’s boom in this part of the world. All-round play Setting Without wanting to state the obvious, the one thing you are guaranteed to find in the Dominican Republic – as well as a warm and friendly welcome – is the sun. Of course it rains, but you’ll mainly be hit with showers in the the evening. Average winter temperatures from October to May are around 30 degrees. I was there from mid- September to October and, if you don’t mind dodging a few hurricanes, this is a great time to come and play. It’s trend quiet and you will find the courses relatively sparse. High James Mason heads off to the Dominican Republic, the season runs from January to May, and if your negotiating skills are good enough, you could bag yourself a few IAGTO award winner for Latin America and the Caribbean bargain rounds on some great tracks. First you will need to find the best booking. It’s Cap Cana resort’s magnificent Punta Espada course recommended you stay at one of the big resorts, which 132 GOLF MONTHLY JANUARY 2009 - www.golf-monthly.co.uk GOLF MONTHLY JANUARY 2009 - www.golf-monthly.co.uk 133 n TRAVEL Dominican Republic back tee. Then you have the home straight of 16, 17 and 18 along the shoreline. If you could choose three holes to play for the rest of your life, you wouldn’t go far wrong with this finishing trio. There is no doubt about it that Punta Espada is a masterpiece, but Nicklaus has now been commissioned to create another, which is well on its way to completion. From what I was shown by Mark Clouse, director of golf at Cap Cana, the Golden Bear could just pull this off. Eventually there will be five courses on this complex, and they are hoping by 2010 for Punta Espada to become a member’s only course. If this is to be the case, pack your clubs and head over while you have the chance to play it. To the future... At Punta Cana resort, La Cana golf course is now seven years old, with four holes sitting next to the beach and the finishing two running right along the oceanfront. Naturally, much like its neighbouring courses, stunning views are very much part of the package. One of the picks comes on the par-3 12th. If you never get to play the 17th at Sawgrass, then you’ll get a chance to play something very similar here with a 146-yard tee shot to a two-tiered island green. By January 2010, there will be two more courses added to the Punta Cana portfolio. The first will be Tom Fazio’s Corales Golf Course, due to open by January 2009, with P.B Dyes’ Hacienda due for completion a The fantastic Roco Ki resort, home to Faldo’s Legacy course year later.

  • Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6
    Agenda Item No. 7.1 – Appendix 4.6 Wyre Forest District Council Golf Facility Review Introduction This report reviews current golf play provision within Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC). Golf was not included within the Playing Pitch Strategy as supplied by Knight, Kavanagh and Page (2017) because it is not a statutory sport. Although golf is not a statutory sport in which to include within a PPS as outlined by Sports England1, it was felt that a review would be beneficial in regards to the emerging Local Plan and specifically in regards to proposed site allocations within the former Burlish Golf Course. This report will review the current golf courses within Wyre Forest District, and nearby courses in adjacent councils. It will also review current demand levels for Golf both in terms of local demand and also wider national trends. It will also discuss in detail the former golf course site at Burlish, and the proposed vision for the site. 1- Current Provision Wyre Forest District currently has five English Golf affiliated courses currently operating, all of which are run as privately operated clubs. Each club does offer visitor pay and play service but are primarily membership clubs. There is also an additional non affiliated private pitch and putt course based in Winterfold school, and a pay as you play pitch and putt course at Mini Pro Golf Parks. All of the Golf Clubs are within a 20 minute drive time for all Wyre Forest District residents, which is the drive-time catchment as recommended by Sport England.
