The Golf

Why Salt Lake City Golfers Choose Punta Espada

Utah has some of the most golf-courses-per-capita in the US — altitude golf at Talisker Club and Thanksgiving Point creates serious outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate spectacular natural settings and understand what premium design means.

Utah winters close courses completely November through March — a 5-month off-season that sends SLC golfers south. The Dominican Republic is the polar opposite of a Utah winter: warm, green, and ocean-front.

Home courses for Salt Lake City golfers: Talisker Club, Thanksgiving Point Golf Club, Soldier Hollow Golf Course. 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.

Beyond the Course

Cap Cana: More Than Golf

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.
