Playa Nueva Romana Boosts Sports Tourism with PGA Ocean’s 4 Golf Course
Golf tourism has achieved a prominent status in the Dominican Republic’s economy, establishing itself as one of the fundamental pillars of the country’s tourism industry.
The academy boasts over 80 practice stations and 8 covered stations, along with specially designed areas for putting green and chipping green, reports the Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic.
Grupo Piñero’s golf division, Bahía Príncipe Golf, actively participates in the expanding industry. Currently, it has two courses and 27 holes at PGA Ocean’s 4, located in Playa Nueva Romana, about 100 km east of Santo Domingo and 30 km from La Romana.
Carlos de Linares, general manager of PGA Ocean’s 4, states, “At Bahía Príncipe Golf, our goal is to offer a world-class golf experience where the passion for the sport combines with the natural beauty of the Caribbean setting.”
Additionally, Linares highlights that last January, PGA Ocean’s 4 in Playa Nueva Romana joined the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism (Mitur) stand for the first time, promoting the country as a golf destination at the PGA Merchandise Show held at the Orlando Convention Center. This collaboration further boosts tourism in the region and strengthens the country’s position as a leading destination in the golf industry.
Golf Between the Sea and Lakes
The golf courses at PGA Ocean’s 4 academy, with sea views, are designed to take advantage of varied topography with multiple levels and slopes, giving them a distinctive character and adding an extra level of challenge to the game.
Bahía Príncipe Golf has two golf courses in Playa Nueva Romana, totaling 27 holes. One, an 18-hole par 72 course, is designed for intermediate and advanced players. The other, a 9-hole par 27 course, is intended for beginners or those new to the sport.
The second official “Championship course” features different settings surrounded by lakes and waterfalls bordering the Caribbean Sea and landscapes with large rocks and sand in a Desert style.
There is also a 9-hole par 3 golf course designed to provide fun and challenge to players of all levels. With holes ranging between 100 and 200 meters, golfers can complete the entire course in just one hour, enjoying golf in a more accessible and relaxed manner, free from strict etiquette and complicated rules, describes the Ministry of Tourism.
The Golf Academy at PGA Ocean’s 4
At the Playa Nueva Romana facilities, the division features a climate-controlled teaching center equipped with special video analysis software and a state-of-the-art monitor (trackman), essential tools for golf instructors, allowing students of all levels to improve their skills and performance in the game.
The academy offers over 80 practice stations and 8 covered stations, along with specially designed areas for putting green and chipping green.
Additionally, it offers a variety of programs designed to provide students with a comprehensive golf experience. From private and group lessons to the opportunity to play with a professional, participate in two-day camps, corporate events, and fun golf sessions, each option is designed to ensure effective learning on the course.
