Jack Nicklaus designed Punta Espada to make the most of Cap Cana's defining natural feature: the Caribbean cliffline. Seven of the eighteen holes are positioned so that the sea defines both the visual spectacle and the strategic challenge of every shot. The result is a course unlike any other in the hemisphere.
Punta Espada opened in 2006 and was immediately recognised as a landmark. It has since hosted multiple PGA Tour Latin America events and been ranked the finest golf course in the Caribbean year after year. Golfers who have played courses around the world regularly describe it as a top-ten lifetime experience.
Punta Espada has no weak holes. These are the ones guests talk about longest after the round.
A par-4 that sets the tone from the first swing. The tee shot plays over a rocky cove with the Caribbean stretching to the right. No warm-up required — or permitted.
One of the most photographed holes in the Caribbean. A short iron over open water to a green perched on the coral cliff edge. Wind direction determines everything about club selection.
A par-4 dogleg right that bends along the coastline. The ideal line flirts with the cliff edge. The choice between aggressive and conservative defines the round.
The longest hole on the course. Long hitters can chase the green in two with a forced carry. Conservative play still yields birdie opportunities — but the crowd plays it boldly.
A par-3 that plays directly into the trade wind off the Caribbean. The green is elevated with open ocean behind. Club selection shifts with every round — a genuine test of nerve.
A par-4 closing hole that curves along the final stretch of coastline. The green is visible from the villa terrace. Walk off eighteen and the cart ride home is 200 metres.
The villa sits on Fairway 5 — giving every guest direct sightlines to one of the most strategic stretches of the course. The two golf carts included with every stay mean you leave the villa and reach the first tee in under three minutes.
Your butler handles all tee time reservations, caddy coordination, and equipment storage. Member-rate green fees are built into every booking — a meaningful saving for groups playing multiple rounds. Everything between waking up and teeing off is handled for you.
Reserve the VillaMember rates, two carts, a private chef, and full staff — all included from the moment you arrive in Cap Cana.
