Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic with its natural beauty, great beaches, fantastic weather and dozens of world-class designed golf courses by golf legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Tom Fazio and Pete Dye, has become one of the top golfing destinations in the Caribbean. The dry season runs from December to April. In Bavaro and Punta Cana on the east coast, for example, the average temperature is at its lowest of 24C in January and February. Ideal for golf !
