Guavaberry Resort and Country Club

Overview: Guavaberry Resort and Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Juan Dolio on the Dominican Republic's southeast coast. Current resort material gives a total of 7,156 yards and describes golf set within tropical forest and native flora. A Dominican golf profile identifies Gary Player as the designer and dates the opening to 2002. The fairways are framed by tropical vegetation, while the course also uses deep sand hazards and exposed coral-rock formations to add texture to the round.

History: The available course record identifies Guavaberry as a Gary Player design opened in 2002. The operator's current page presents the course as part of a wider resort and country-club property, with the golf course, clubhouse and surrounding tropical environment still forming one destination. No separate later opening date or replacement routing was found, so the 2002 date is used for the directory's current 18-hole identity.

Did You Know? Guavaberry's own course page singles out the eighteenth hole as the place to save energy for, giving the closing hole a clear place in the club's playing narrative. The same material explains that the course was designed to look as though its fairways had always belonged to the landscape. That intent is reinforced by the surrounding native flora and the coral formations that appear beside the fairways.
