Our Managing Partner Enrique De Marchena Kaluche participated in the launch of PGA Ocean’s 4 by Bahía Príncipe. PGA Oceans4 is the second PGA of America affiliated course in Latin America and the third in the world, outside the US, which will also be the official headquarters of the first Golf Academy of the renowned association in the Dominican Republic.
The Professional Golf Association (PGA) of the United States announced this Tuesday an agreement with the Ocean’s 4 golf course, located in a hotel complex located east of San Pedro de Macorís, Dominican Republic.
The golf course, which belongs to the Spanish hotel chain Bahía Príncipe, belonging to the Piñero Group, is the third outside the United States to sign an association agreement with the PGA.
The manager of Ocean’s 4, Carlos de Linares, said that the golf club will carry out a ‘comprehensive reform’ within a period of two or three years, to adapt its facilities to the standards required by the PGA, before hosting international competitions on the circuit U.S.
Among other aspects, the clubhouse will be expanded, all the hole parks will be remodeled, as well as the irrigation system and the landscaping will be adapted, a chapter in which it will collaborate with the National Botanical Garden to plant native species of the Dominican Republic.
In the presentation ceremony, the CEO of Grupo Piñero, Encarna Piñero, highlighted that the project will not only be a vacation claim but will “promote the practice of golf” in the Dominican Republic.
For this, the facilities will also host a golf academy that will be open to the general public, not only to the owners and residents of the hotel complex, located about 100 kilometers east of Santo Domingo.
The golf club opened its doors in 2017, on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, and has 27 holes spread over two courses, one of the professional and the other nine-hole short course.
