Default playa grande

my FH and the guys want to go golfing at playa grande. we are staying at breezes POP. just wonder how long of a drive. do they have "excursion" buses that go there or do they need to take a taxi. How much is the taxi. do they need to make tee times ahead of time or can they make them at the resort.

Breezes to Playa Grande is about one hour's drive. I do not know of any 'Excursion' buses although there is a company that will organise the trip (for a fee).

How MANY want to go (price of travel will depend slightly on size of bus!). A 4 seater taxi would be from US $80 - US $100 for the day,m a larger 7/8 seater maybe another US $20 for the round trip.

It is always best to ring Playa Grande beforehand to confirm availability. Not so much for getting a Tee Time - more to ensure there are no tournaments due for the day you (they) intend going!

I am playing there on 3rd & 4th March so if you want something specific checking out, let me know & I'll ask Luis for the answers! ~ Grahame.

Tell you what Michelle, you answer my questions above & I'll know what to find out & let you know! Until then I am a bit stumped to know what to find out about!
Try this:
No 3 is a bitch par three . No 4 is an "Interesting" par five. No. 12 is everyones nightmare . No 17 creates a few problems as a Par 3 whilst No. 18 is hell to finish a good round with! ~ Grahame.

How many 'Guys' (incl. FH) want to play? (any G/friends or wives tagging along?)
WHEN are you all coming to Breezes? (Dates)
HOW many times will they want to play?
What are their handicaps (time for you to learn these golfing expressions if you are marrying an avid golfer!!)
Are they bringing their own clubs or do they intend renting here?
Where are you all coming FROM? (Country).

Nearly everything is negfotiable in the DR - with the answers to the above questions I can come up with ideas, suggestions & some prices! ~ Grahame.

If I get to the 18th Tee with a score of 90 or less & then my 2nd shot goes "Into the sea", replacing golf balls will not be the biggest problem for you!! I tend o get a bit frustrated at such things & might lash out uncontrollably. Better bring a truss or similar too! ~ Grahame.

thanks so much for your help
