About Corales Golf Club

Tom Fazio's Corales Golf Club at Punta Cana Resort is best known for its extraordinary finishing stretch — three consecutive holes on the ocean culminating in an island green par 3 at 16 that is among the most dramatic in Caribbean golf. The course is longer and more challenging than La Cana, with a modern design sensibility that rewards power and precision.

Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2010, Corales Golf Club has established itself as one of the premier golf experiences in the Caribbean. With 5 oceanfront holes and a par of 72 over 7650 yards, it demands both accuracy and courage from players of all levels.

For golfers visiting the Dominican Republic, Corales Golf Club pairs naturally with a stay at Villa Espada in Cap Cana — a luxury private villa with concierge tee time booking across all major DR courses.
