TPC Dorado Beach (Pineapple)
TPC Dorado Beach (Pineapple course): GOLF COURSE WAS CLOSED IN 2017, possibly on a permanent basis. Check for current status before planning a visit.
Originally known simply as Dorado Beach, in its pomp this Stay&Play resort boasted four championship golf courses. Robert Trent Jones Snr laid out the highly-acclaimed East course and its companion West course in 1958. A little over ten years later the resort expanded across the road with the introduction of the Plantation Club and two more championship courses - the Pineapple and Sugarcane layouts.
Following the inclusion of all four courses under the TPC banner (Tournament Players Club), it now appears that the West has been "retired", perhaps on a permanent basis. The Pineapple course was also forced to close, following considerable damage caused by Hurricane Maria in 2017. The still excellent East course, and across the road, the Sugarcane course, continue to fly under TPC Dorado Beach colours.
Check with club (if and when it reopens).
Walking permitted on weekdays and Fri-Sun after 2pm.

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).
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: 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.
