Golf in Cap Cana

Cap Cana is the most exclusive golf and resort community in the Dominican Republic — a fully gated enclave of luxury villas, a deep-water marina, Juanillo Beach, and two world-class golf courses. Punta Espada, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2006, is the Caribbean's second-ranked course and Nicklaus's personal favourite. La Cana at the adjacent Puntacana Resort rounds out one of the Caribbean's best two-course golf destinations.

For golfers planning a Cap Cana golf trip, Villa Espada at Cap Cana provides an excellent base with easy access to multiple top-rated courses and concierge tee time service.

Practical Tips & Planning Advice

  • Stay inside Cap Cana — Villa Espada is steps from Punta Espada first tee
  • Tee times at Punta Espada go to resort guests and villa owners first
  • Book the earliest slot available — wind builds through the day on the ocean holes
  • Add a day at Teeth of the Dog — 90-minute drive to Casa de Campo

Best Time to Golf in Cap Cana

Cap Cana golf is at its best November through April. Punta Espada plays significantly more challenging when the winter trade winds are at full strength.

Regardless of season, morning tee times are recommended across all Caribbean destinations to avoid afternoon showers and play in the best light.
