For those interested in Playing Golf here!!
here is a company called FedoGolf that has organised a 'discount' price at several golf courses in the DR. I have just joined as I found the rates for a "Extranajeros" (Ex-Pat) membership at Playa Dorada totally unacceptable against what a Dominican pays!! US $2,500 for me (RD $100,000) RD $20,000 for a Dominican. Playa Grande is RD $120,000 Ex-Pat & RD $30,000 for Dominican!! I have been here 12 years, have my residencia, Carne AND driving licence (more than most Dominicans!!) & have played Playa Dorada for the last 11 years BUT........ No Dice, they won't play fair, so they lose out!!!
If any tourist wants to come down here to play more than 5 rounds of golf a year, this is a good idea as green fees are approx 1/2 price through FedoGolf. I would be happy to handle the enquiries on your behalf to FedoGolf (& before you guys start yelling 'scam' & 'profiteer' - I am offering to do it at NO charge to the enquirer & NO commission from FedoGolf), getthe forms sent directly to you by Fax & you can send the forms (& credit card/check or whatever other form of payment you choose) directly to them! I am merely the facilitator for people interested parties together!!
PM or e-mail if you want to know more or want me to talk to FedoGolf on your behalf!! - Grahame.
