Thumbs up Golfers - You're Going to LOVE This!
Below is a link to a "beta" release to the golf site we have been working on.

All we have added are the course reviews and some basic info.
We still have lots of stuff to add in the coming weeks.
More reviews, info, golf real estate, tee-times, FEDGOLF stuff etc etc.

All initial reviews are by the same low handicap amateur golfer (Bo), Hillbilly and BushBaby know him. This approach was adopted so we would have "real world" benchmarks and consistent reviews of every major golf course in the Dominican Republic. The rating value is based on "Value for Money" score. This rating can go up or down depending on future submitted reviews by other golfers.

As you can imagine a few courses will not be happy as they didn't rate as good as their sales brochures We plan to regularly review and rate the courses and combine this rating with other golfers reviews.

Golf in the Dominican Republic

Please post your feedback in this thread and feel free to post your feedback and suggestions to make the site better.

I have no doubt this will be the #1 Golf site for the DR when we are done.

Enjoy!

Who gave the star ratings then? Wouldn't you have to play a course to rate a course?

he said it in his post, and amateur golfer(like most visitors of this bord are, i think that at least, no offence Tiger) named Bo made the initial reviews, so that one played the courses, and the rest will come up by the real travellers, like the reviews of a hotel, that's how the info/rating on a great bord like DR1 works.
cheers

Thumbs up
Great idea and looking good!

It would be nice to see some close-ups of the greens.
I need nice greens, smooth and fast.

We sent someone around the country playing the courses.
We will continue to send the same person when new courses open and to periodically re-review courses. This way we hopefully remain consistent in our initial reviews.

I am not a golfer, but I have many inquiries from guests concerning area courses. I did a quick check of a few courses, and I am very impressed with the amount of work that went into this project! Well done! A fantastic addition to dr1!
