St. Louis, MO → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Fly from STL 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.
St. Louis has Bellerive Country Club (2018 PGA Championship host, multiple US Opens). The Missouri golf community follows major championship venues closely — Punta Espada's Caribbean rankings and Nicklaus provenance are well-understood here.
Missouri winters close courses November through March. St. Louis golfers escape south in January and February. Under 4.5 hours from STL, the Dominican Republic competes directly with Florida and Mexico.
Home courses for St. Louis golfers: Bellerive Country Club, Norwood Hills Country Club, Missouri Bluffs. 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.
St. Louis golf groups are Bellerive-influenced — they value major championship credentials and precise course management. Punta Espada's elevation changes and ocean exposure demand strategic thinking, which suits this market perfectly.
Two foursomes, 8 bedrooms, member tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for Teeth of the Dog day trip. This is what St. Louis 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 St. Louis 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.
