The Story Behind Our Magazine: The Ultimate Caribbean Golf Paradise
I’m truly excited to present this project, which we’ve been working on for months. It brings together lifestyle, luxury properties, and a passion for golf. Hi, I’m Jorien, and I’m proud to introduce you to this magazine — a sneak peek into the world of luxury golf resorts where the sun always shines and life moves to the rhythm of nature, elegance, and sport.
For the past eleven years, I’ve had the privilege of calling one of the Dominican Republic’s top golf resorts my home. Casa de Campo is a place where every morning begins with golden sunlight rising over the fairways, and every evening closes with a view of the ocean catching fire at sunset. This is more than just a beautiful destination — it’s a lifestyle that blends relaxation, passion, and connection in a way that’s hard to put into words.
A Lifestyle That Goes Beyond Golfing
Golf here is not just a sport; it’s a way of life. From early-morning tee times to relaxed afternoon rounds with friends, the game is woven into the daily rhythm of the community. My own kids are learning to play on one of the world’s best courses — surrounded by lush tropical landscapes and guided by coaches who not only understand the game, but live and breathe the culture of golf, imagine being able to experience this every day.
What makes this lifestyle even more special is the community that surrounds it. The Dominican Republic brings people and cultures together like nowhere else— a crossroads for people from all corners of the globe who share a common love for golf and the lifestyle that comes with it. There’s a sense of openness and warmth here that’s hard to describe until you’ve experienced it yourself. Whether you’re Dutch like me, from the U.S., Europe, Latin America, or beyond, you’ll find yourself welcomed with a smile and often with a round of golf.
The Vision Behind the Magazine
This magazine was born from a desire to share that experience with fellow golf enthusiasts — to help others discover, just as I did, the comfort, beauty, and paradise that the Dominican Republic offers, along with the unique investment opportunities that come with it.
It’s a collection of the most iconic golf courses in the Dominican Republic, and the Top Golf Resorts such as Casa de Campo, Punta Cana, and more. — many of which are ranked among the top in the region and even worldwide. I share my personal recommendations, local insights, unmissable golf events in the Dominican Republic this year, and stunning imagery that captures the magic of golfing in the Dominican Republic. It’s also a highlight of the lifestyle that lives around it — from luxury villas and fine dining to the simple joy of feeling the ocean breeze as you line up your next shot.
You’ll find our recommendations for the bests restaurants where golfers love to unwind after a good golfing, insights into some of the luxurious villas for sale and the unique opportunities that come with owning a property near the greens in, in some of the most secure and sought-after areas of the Dominican Republic
Golf and Real Estate: A Natural, Perfect Blend
With great care and dedication, I’ve helped many clients over the years find their dream home here, some started out simply as golf lovers, or just looking for a place to enjoy the tropical weather in total tranquility and escape the cold. But what they found was much more than a home: they discovered a community, a rhythm of life, and a place where their passion could thrive.
There’s something powerful about stepping out of your backyard and directly onto a fairway. Or enjoying a sunset cocktail on your terrace while the last golfers finish their round in the distance. These are the moments that turn a vacation home into a forever memory and in many cases, into a permanent residence.
That’s why this magazine also highlights the real estate side of the golf lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a modern villa with sweeping golf course views, or a cozy retreat close to the clubhouse, we’ve included a variety of options that fit different lifestyles and investment goals.
It’s a Way of Life
I often say that the Dominican Republic isn’t just where I live — it’s where I feel most alive. It’s where my family is growing, where my business thrives, and where the days are filled with beauty, balance, and connection. And golf is at the center of all of it.
Whether you’re an avid golfer in search of your next great course, a traveler who appreciates luxury and tranquility, or someone curious about investing in this slice of paradise — I created this magazine for you. It’s meant to inspire, to inform, and above all, to welcome you into the world that has meant so much to me.
Let’s Connect
So grab a drink, flip through the pages, and let yourself be transported. I invite you to experience the lifestyle you’ve been looking for, right in one of the world’s most renowned golf destinations.
And if anything in these pages speaks to you — whether it’s a property, Real Estate, or just the lifestyle — don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to help you experience it for yourself.
See you on the greens!
