Cleveland, OH → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Fly from CLE to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in approximately 4.5 hours. Direct and connecting flights available on American, Delta, Southwest. Your private transfer from PUJ to Villa Espada takes just 15–20 minutes — and your first tee time at Punta Espada Golf Course is already booked at member rates.
Villa Espada is an 8-bedroom private estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course — Jack Nicklaus's personal favourite of all his 300+ designs and the #2-ranked course in the Caribbean. Your full staff is waiting: private chef, personal butler, daily maid service, and two six-person golf carts. The first tee is a short walk from your villa door.
Northeast Ohio has a surprisingly strong golf heritage — Firestone Country Club (longtime WGC host), Canterbury Golf Club. Ohio golfers are value-conscious but willing to invest in genuinely exceptional experiences.
Cleveland winters are harsh — Lake Erie weather closes serious play October through April. That seven-month escape window is one of the longest in any major US market, making Caribbean golf almost a seasonal necessity.
Home courses for Cleveland golfers: Firestone Country Club, Canterbury Golf Club, Kirtland Country Club. Exceptional golf — but not 8 holes directly on the Caribbean Sea with Jack Nicklaus's signature on the design.
Punta Espada's 8 oceanfront holes play directly above and alongside the Caribbean. The trade winds shift every hole. The par-3s over open sea are among the most photographed tee shots in golf. And because Villa Espada is inside Cap Cana resort with walking access to the first tee, you experience the course the way members do — not as a hotel guest who booked a tee time.
4 rounds across 3 world-ranked courses. Villa Espada staff handle every tee time, transfer, and caddie arrangement. You just play golf.
Cleveland golf groups tend to be loyal, value-driven, and relationship-oriented. Once they find Villa Espada, they come back — and bring different friends each time. The all-inclusive model eliminates bill-splitting awkwardness, which these groups appreciate.
Two foursomes, 8 bedrooms, member tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for Teeth of the Dog day trip. This is what Cleveland golf groups come for.
Golf Packages →Executive golf outings, client entertainment, and leadership team events. Villa Espada provides the privacy, exclusivity, and golf access that Cleveland corporate groups need.
Corporate Packages →8 bedrooms, private pool, chef service, Cap Cana Waterpark access — the golfers play while the family enjoys one of the Caribbean's safest gated resort communities.
Family Packages →While the golfers in your group are playing Punta Espada or Las Iguanas, non-golfers have a full day of activities within Cap Cana's 30,000-acre gated resort community. Juanillo Beach — consistently ranked among the best beaches in the Dominican Republic — is a short golf cart ride from Villa Espada. The Cap Cana Waterpark is included with every villa stay, and Scape Park offers zip lines, cenotes, and cave exploration for the adventurous.
The Cap Cana Marina features deep-sea fishing charters, waterfront restaurants, and boutique shopping. Your private chef prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the villa using locally sourced ingredients, and your personal butler coordinates every detail — from restaurant reservations to excursion bookings to spa appointments at Eden Roc. For groups traveling with families, the combination of world-class golf and resort-quality amenities makes Cap Cana the rare Caribbean destination where everyone in the group has an exceptional experience.
