Rub shoulders with the stars on the Dominican Republic's newest golf course

The Dominican Republic's lush landscapes and, in particular, the exclusive resorts dotted around the glorious coastline of Punta Cana, are some of the world's most glorious playing destinations for the keen golfer. Now there is a new course that is set to become one of the world's best golfing experiences. Backed by Julio Iglesias and Oscar de la Renta, the course at the Corales has been designed by Tom Fazio, one of the world's most exciting course designers.

With six seafront holes where the sparkling blue waters of the Caribbean spray high into the air, and the wide, impeccably landscaped fairways that have become Fazio's signature, this is one of the most stunning and challenging golf courses in the world. Opened in 2010, it is certain to take its place among golf's most exclusive and beautiful courses. The turf is so smooth, you could be forgiven for feeling as if you were the first player to tee off on the course.

Already nominated as one of the world's top 100 golf courses, some players are rating this as one of the world's ten best for the combination of the challenge of the play, course design, quality of the turf, and the sheer majesty of the setting which takes every advantage of the beautiful natural landscape. The course is open to resort guests and their guests only so it is well worth spending a few days in this luxurious destination.
