With President Luis Abinader, the exclusive Vistas Golf & Country Club project of the Malespín Group was inaugurated, a course that aims to be the center of sports life in Santo Domingo for local people and foreign visitors seeking places of recreation of the complementary tourist offer of the city.
Marcos Malespín said, “today we inaugurate this dream as a symbol of our confidence in the country, in the climate that our government has fostered for investment and the development of initiatives in favor of the best interests of our society, to generate well-being, work, and security for all Dominicans.”
Likewise, he highlighted that with the complimentary offer of tourism, they feel very proud as a company to generate, during the work, more than 2,500 direct and indirect jobs and for having prioritized the provision of national products over imported ones.
“It fills us with satisfaction that we filled a gap that there was with tourists from the capital, who had to travel many kilometers to the east of the country to play a high-quality golf course, and now thanks to this project, that is just a few minutes from the city center, they have the opportunity to enjoy a golf course with PGA standards. Moreover, now all the hotels in the capital can expand the range of services offered, including our golf course,” he added.
Vistas Golf will also provide great contributions to the Dominican economy through the creation of jobs and the generation of foreign currency since it is part of the complementary tourist offer of Santo Domingo, and thanks to it, it is expected that both business visitors and golfing travelers are delighted with this wonderful course.

It is grass-covered Bermuda Latitude 36 (fairways); Bermuda Tiff Eagle (greens).
