Why Cap Cana Golf

The Caribbean's Most Exclusive
Golf Destination

Cap Cana isn't just a golf resort — it's an entire gated community built around world-class golf. Punta Espada, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2006, has been ranked as high as #1 in the Caribbean and is Nicklaus's own favourite course of all his 300+ designs worldwide.

With the addition of Las Iguanas in 2025, Cap Cana now offers two Nicklaus courses — making it the only destination in the Caribbean with two courses from the game's greatest champion. Add in luxury private villas, a world-class marina, Juanillo Beach, and a 15-minute airport transfer, and Cap Cana is simply the best base for a Dominican Republic golf trip.

What Golfers Say About
Cap Cana Golf

★★★★★

"Punta Espada is the most visually stunning course I've ever played. Eight holes on the Caribbean Sea. Villa Espada made the whole trip effortless — walk to the course, come home to a private chef."

James R.Handicap 8 · Chicago, IL
★★★★★

"We played Punta Espada three times in five days. Each round felt different because the wind changes everything. Staying inside Cap Cana at Villa Espada was the smartest decision we made."

★★★★★
