Puerto Rico golf

I know there's courses at Dorado Beach...but how good are they?  anything new there or being developed??

I've played both courses at Dorado beach but it was about 8 years ago. I believe one was used for a senior tour event for a while. I liked that one much better than the other. It had some interesting holes and was very close to the ocean in spots so it got very windy - which means lots of fun for me. I have no idea what it cost at the time, but I would play it again if I was there.

Its been a few years since I played them as well. I would agree the East is the better course, although they're pretty similar and both courses are good. The East has the famous double dogleg par-5 over the ponds, which sometimes is given as an example of RTJ's heroic ideal. On both courses the best holes are the holes near the sea. From what I understand originally all the ocean holes were part of one golf course, and then RTJ came back a few years later and expanded it to create two golf courses. That original course must have been a pretty damn good.

I don't know about any other courses on the island...Casa de Campo is only short plain trip away.
