Columbus, OH → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Fly from CMH to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in approximately 4.5 hours. Direct and connecting flights available on American, Southwest, Delta. 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.
Columbus hosts the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village — Jack Nicklaus's home club — every year. This creates a market that understands Nicklaus design intimately. Playing Punta Espada, his personal favourite of all 300+ designs, is a natural draw for Columbus golfers.
Ohio winters close courses November through March. Columbus golfers look to warm destinations every January and February. The Dominican Republic offers the best course-quality-to-cost ratio in the Caribbean.
Home courses for Columbus golfers: Muirfield Village Golf Club, Double Eagle Club, Scioto 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.
Columbus golf groups — largely professional and tech sector — have been conditioned by Muirfield Village's standard of excellence. Punta Espada, also Nicklaus-designed and widely considered his finest work, speaks directly to what this market values.
Two foursomes, 8 bedrooms, member tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for Teeth of the Dog day trip. This is what Columbus golf groups come for.

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.
