Puerto Plata Hosts Its 51st Rotating Golf Cup

The Puerto Plata Golf Club has announced the 51st edition of its traditional Rotating Golf Cup, and that already shakes up the destination calendar: more than 140 golfers will play, as reported by Arecoa. The edition also comes with a special dedication to Fernando Ortega Brugal, Don Nano, a name with real weight in the club’s history. This is no ordinary tournament. It’s 51 years of competition, and that is not improvised.

From where I stand, there are two winners:

• The club, because it proves Dominican golf has solid tradition, not just new projects.
• Puerto Plata, because the event strengthens the destination’s offer with an active experience that appeals to higher spending travelers.

A tournament like this turns one weekend into real business: green fees, restaurants, hotels, and a destination image that sells itself. And the report from Arecoa is clear: this cup is part of the DNA of Caribbean golf. In my view, it’s the best proof that Dominican golf has first-class product. I hope MITUR and hoteliers use it as a spearhead to promote the destination in international markets.
