## Article

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](https://www.arecoa.com/destinos/2026/07/31/puerto-plata-golf-club-anuncia-la-edicion-51-de-su-tradicional-copa-rotativa-de-golf/). 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](https://www.arecoa.com/destinos/2026/07/31/puerto-plata-golf-club-anuncia-la-edicion-51-de-su-tradicional-copa-rotativa-de-golf/) 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.
