Jacksonville, FL → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Fly from JAX to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in approximately 3 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.
Jacksonville is the heartland of professional golf — PGA Tour headquarters, TPC Sawgrass (THE PLAYERS Championship), Sawgrass Country Club. JAX golfers are among the most golf-literate in North America and set a very high bar for international destinations.
Being next door to TPC Sawgrass creates an unusually high bar for international golf trips. Punta Espada — Jack Nicklaus's personal favourite design — is one of very few destinations that genuinely impresses Jacksonville's demanding golf community.
Home courses for Jacksonville golfers: TPC Sawgrass, Sawgrass Country Club, Deerwood 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.
Jacksonville golf groups — many connected to the PGA Tour ecosystem — are the most golf-sophisticated in the Southeast. They will notice conditioning, design detail, and caddie quality. Punta Espada delivers on all three.
Two foursomes, 8 bedrooms, member tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for Teeth of the Dog day trip. This is what Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville 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.
