| Travel and Leisure Golf -- September/October 2008 - Course of the Month |
 |
| September 10th 2008 - This inspired Nick Faldo design takes its name from a Taino Indian phrase for “honoring the land,” and the designation is apt. Spread across 2,500 acres originally settled by the dominant pre-Columbian tribe on the island that came to be known as Hispaniola, the course gambols from the Atlantic headlands through mangrove forests and an elevated sawgrass plain before returning to the bluffs overlooking the sea. The par-three seventeenth recalls the seventh at Pebble Beach: Buffeted by wind and surf, it’s a downhill pitch to a perilous peninsula green. Not to be outdone, the par-five eighteenth leaps twice across ocean chasms. The course is the first of several planned for the Westin Roco Ki Beach & Golf Resort, scheduled to open in 2009 |
