Four holes on the sea, and a nine for the evening.
PGA Ocean’s 4 sits on the bay of Playa Nueva Romana, on the south coast between San Pedro de Macorís and La Romana. It is run by Bahia Principe Golf, and the name comes from the four holes that run along the Caribbean. The 18-hole course opened in late 2017. Alongside it is a nine-hole par-3 course that takes about an hour, plus a PGA academy with a covered range and launch-monitor bays. If you are staying at Casa de Campo or the Bahia Principe hotels nearby, it is a different test from the Pete Dye courses down the road.
PGA Ocean’s 4 green fees and tee times.
Book online through the club’s Book your Tee Time page, or phone +1 849 936 7092 (7am to 8pm local time, every day). There is also a WhatsApp line on +1 829 423 0466, and the scorecard lists golfbookings@pgaoceans4.com. The club does not publish green fees, so ask for a quote and say whether you want the championship course, the par-3 nine or both. There is no published handicap limit, but the scorecard asks players to choose tees by handicap: black for 0 to 7, blue for 8 to 14, white for 15 to 22 and yellow above 23.
The round, in perspective.
Maverick Golf designed and built the course from a concept by Jack Lund. It is a par 72 of 7,334 yards from the black tees, with a course rating of 75.0 and slope of 138, and five tee sets drop to 5,132 yards from the reds. The club describes three types of holes: four seaside holes among coconut palms, beach grape and coral cliffs; four parkland holes set around lakes and waterfalls; and three desert-style holes of rock and sand. The 17th is a 457-yard par 4 played along the clifftop with the sea on the left and a green shared with the 8th; the wind usually blows from left to right. The four short holes are serious tests from the back, at 175, 200, 233 and 207 yards, and the round closes with a 575-yard par 5. The course was developed by the Piñero group, owners of Bahia Principe, which also runs PGA Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Make the trip work.
The scorecard sets a pace of 4 hours 30 minutes. Its local rules treat waste bunkers as through the green, so you can ground your club and remove loose impediments, and there are dropping zones on the 3rd and 4th. The par-3 course has holes of 100 to 200 metres and suits juniors, beginners or a short evening loop. The club has said floodlit night golf is coming but has not given a date. The PGA Academy has more than 80 hitting bays, eight of them covered, plus TrackMan, video analysis and a simulator, and runs two-day camps.
The club is at km 12 on the San Pedro–La Romana road. It is about 98 km east of Santo Domingo and about 30 km from La Romana, so La Romana (LRM) is the closest airport and Santo Domingo Las Américas (SDQ) is the main international option. Punta Cana is roughly 100 km further east.
The club points golfers to two Bahia Principe hotels on the same coast. Bahia Principe Grand La Romana is the family resort, and Bahia Principe Luxury Bouganville is adults-only. Casa de Campo, in La Romana, is the upmarket alternative with its own three courses and marina. Those staying in Punta Cana can make it a day trip, but allow for well over an hour on the road each way.
Make a trip of it.
Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo is the obvious partner, and our guide covers how to get on. Dye Fore, on the cliffs above the Chavón River, is the second Casa de Campo course. Together they give a three-course La Romana week without long drives. Off the course, Altos de Chavón, the stone village above the river at Casa de Campo, has an amphitheatre, galleries and restaurants.

December to April is the dry season on the south coast and the best time for golf. June to November is hurricane season, with a peak in August and September.
