La Estancia Golf Resort

Est. 2008

La Estancia Golf Resort: P.B. Dye's exciting design at La Estancia is the most recent addition to the golfing scene in Dominican's La Romana area. Laid out on generally open and undulating terrain, the course is perched above the immensely scenic Chavon River. Spectacular views down into the tree-lined river valley can be enjoyed from many vantage points on the course. Good-width fairways lead you to well bunkered and often seriously mounded green complexes, where the putting surfaces have been crafted with a mesmerising array of slopes and borrows. The approach to several greens require nerve-jangling shots over or alongside stretches of the canyon-like river valley, where anything too wayward will disappear into terrain that tumbles several hundred feet down towards the river. On occasions the holes are (or will be) flanked by the resort's villas, cottages and condos, which are typically set far enough back to be safe from errant drives. Like the nearby Dye Fore layout at Casa de Campo (designed by P.B.'s father, Pete) La Estancia is another dramatic design, with the Chavon River valley frequently providing a spectacular backdrop to this wonderfully challenging golf layout.

Did you know?

Nearby La Romana is Dominican's third-largest city. The city gets its name from a balance (romana) that was used to weigh merchandise for export. In terms of size, La Romana took a huge leap forward in 1917, when the South Puerto Rico Sugar Company built their mammoth Central Romana mill in the city. In the 1960's the company became part of the conglomerate Gulf+Western, who later sold their stake in the Central Romana Corporation to a group of local and foreign investors. Gulf+Western acquired Consolidated Cigar in 1968 and shifted the Canary Island cigar-making operation to La Romana, and a factory that is now one of the largest cigar factories in the world, making brands such as Montecristo, H. Upmann, and Romeo y Julieta.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.

Prince's Golf Club, Kent (UK)

Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.

Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
