Dominican Republic's Puntacana Resort & Club's courses honored

(PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic) - Puntacana Resort & Club, the exclusive resort property in the Dominican Republic, and its two championship courses, the La Cana Golf Club and the Corales Golf Club, have each been named to Celebrated Living's prestigious "Platinum List," the magazine's annual reader-selected guide of the world's best hotels, golf courses, spas and cruise lines; published in the magazine's June issue.

Puntacana Resort & Club is recognized with a #12 ranking in the list of "Top 20 Caribbean Hotels," and both of its two golf courses are recognized in the list of "Top 20 International Golf Courses." The Corales Golf Club makes its debut on the list with a #14 ranking and is immediately followed by the La Cana Golf Club at #15. The courses are the only two in the Caribbean to be included in the "Top 20 International Golf Courses" list.

"Tom Fazio's briny Caribbean gem skirts the blustery Caribbean Sea on six holes, most ferociously on the last, and it's an exhilarating adventure. Opened just in 2010, Corales adjoins La Cala Golf Club on the list, its older P.B Dye Sibling at Puntacana Resort & Club," writes Celebrated Living golf editor Tom Bedell.

Celebrated Living is the luxury inflight magazine for American Airlines Premium Class passengers. The annual Platinum List is based on the votes of the magazine's travel savvy readers and is considered to be one of the world's most definitive lists of the best hotels, golf courses, spas, and cruise lines.
