This is going against the budget theme but hey, it's just food for thought!

I know many golfers who have dream courses that they want to play before they die.  Well, this is one of mine.  It is Punta Espada golf club which is in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.  From the pictures I have seen it looks like the most amazing course ever.  The champions tour makes an annual stop here and the greens fees are $320 a person (that includes a caddie...Oh boy)  It is a Nicklaus designed course that reaches 7,396 yards from the back tees and is a par 72.  It has been rated the #1 course in the Caribbean the last two years by Golfweek magazine.  The signature hole is #13, a par 3 that reaches 250 yards from the farthest tee box that requires a shot to carry the crystal clear, blue water of the shores of the Dominican.  Like I said before, this completely breaks the budget aspect of this blog buy hey, we can all dream and fantasize every once and a while right?
