Created as an open-air enclave infused with references to the surrounding natural landscape and diverse culture, Dorado Beach is a true luxury sanctuary designed to allure the world's most discerning travelers through a bevy of one-of-a-kind lifestyle activities.

Dorado Beach’s East Course is considered the premier golf course in Puerto Rico by Golf Digest and one of the best courses in the Caribbean. Robert Trent Jones Jr.’s restoration of the historic East Course to the original vision put forth by his father brings this classic seaside course into the 21st century with a subtle rebirth as a modern masterpiece. Ultra-dwarf Champion Bermuda grass greens with a mixture of Zoysia and 419 Bermuda grass on fairways and tees for the East.

Original panoramic sight lines to the ocean have been restored on 12 of 18 holes. Native sand harvested from surrounding beaches highlights the contoured bunker complexes. New ultra-dwarf Champion Bermuda greens support double-digit speeds with several hole locations on every green. And now, playing over 7,200 yards, Dorado Beach East is as formidable from the championship tee as it is forgiving from the forward tee.
