The Grand Re-Opening of Dorado Beach Resort’s East Course in Puerto Rico was the first in a series of events signifying this historic property’s resurgence as one of the premier golf, leisure, resort and private membership experiences in the world.
Robert Trent Jones Jr.’s restoration of the historic East Course to the original vision put forth by his father brings this classic seaside course into the 21st century with a subtle rebirth as a modern masterpiece.
“It was truly an honor to restore one of my father’s original masterpieces,” said Robert Trent Jones, Jr. “The restoration of the East Course has enhanced the natural beauty, playing conditions and flexibility that my father had originally envisioned over 50 years ago.”
Original panoramic site lines of the Atlantic Ocean have been restored on 15 of 18 holes through an aggressive tree management program. Native Puerto Rican sand harvested from surrounding beaches highlights the newly renovated and contoured bunker complexes.
New ultra-dwarf Champion Bermuda greens support double digit green speeds with a premium number of hole locations on every green. A course layout that now stretches over 7200 yards is as formidable from the championship tees as it is forgiving from the forward tee.
