The most I like to spend on a greens fee would be around $100.
To me low would be around $50 which still ends up being well over $100 when all is said and done.

If you LIVE here get a FedoGolf card, prices become approxomately 1/2 price!!

If you DON'T live here, negotiate for a FedoGolf card through someone that does!! ~ Grahame.

I want to get in a couple of rounds in 2 weeks.
What sort of negotiations are we talking about here?
Playa Dorada lowered the summer rate to $40 which is pretty reasonable but the winter rate of $75 is a bit steep for that course when you add it all up.
My buddy is not much of a golfer so I think I might just leave the clubs at home but I know I will be kicking myself being around the course all week without my clubs.
Last time I used the rentals and the woods were like fishing rods.
I will bring my clubs.

Two weeks doesn't give much time for organising things but give me a call when you get here & we'll see waht can be organised. If you want/need a golfing 'Fix' we can go to Santiago (a better course, more challenging) where a round of golf costs RD $1.200 (green fees AND buggy). Normally we play weekends but for going thirds on petrol .............

Hey, We might even be able to meet up with the illustrious Hillbilly!!

PM or e-mail me giving your travel details!! ~ Grahame.

Hi guys,

As usual, here I am making golf plans for my husband,, ( I WANT HIM TO GET OUT THERE). Now more than ever since I just found out we will not see MommC and her Husband this coming January.

Now that I read your posts, I want to get something organized for Sunday Jan. 7th, I am thinking of Jarabacoa or Santiago, it can't be first thing in the morning as we are driving from Juan Dolio.

Hillbilly, Grahame,,,,, can I leave you this task as a X-mas project? I promise I will not play (not to worry about me keeping you behind )

Let me know

Okay, Sunday Jan 7. Juan Dolio-> Santiago

What time will you be leaving? We can play whenever you want....You can drive a cart!!

Tell you what> You plan the day, and we'll follow whatever you want to do.
I am speaking for BB, Alan and Meself.....

Hi guys,

Please try to adjust the schedule for Sunday 7th in Santiago or Jarabacoa, to us would be the same driving. I would rather go up to Jarabacoa to take advantage of the "mountainview" and weather.

We will be leaving JD around 6:30 Sunday morning, and with Bigbanana-happy-feet driving that should put us at either place at about 9 or 9:30 the latest.

Looking forward to see you again!!!!!

Earl has left for the States, Jim Has gone back to St Croix (or will be on that day) so Alan & I should be available. Leaving Puerto Plata @ 07.30 we will be in Santiago for 08.45 - WE have a strong preference for Santiago as we prefer an 18 hole course to 2 x 9 hole version & we can happily do without the extra 45 minutes (minimum) each way on our journey. Jarabacoa in winter might also be a lot wetter underfoot! ~ Grahame.

My dear Grahame,

Santiago will be just fine.....location has no value when you are enjoying great company!!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to come out and play.
