Toronto, Ontario → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Fly from Toronto (YYZ) to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) in approximately 4.5 hours nonstop. Punta Cana is one of the most-connected airports in the Caribbean, and nonstop service from Toronto runs frequently through the December-to-April winter season. Your private transfer from PUJ to Villa Espada takes about 15–20 minutes from the airport gate — and your first tee time at Punta Espada Golf Course is already booked at the member-guest discounted rate.
Villa Espada is a 6- or 8-bedroom private estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course — ranked #1 in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years. 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.
Toronto is one of the largest golf markets in North America, but the Ontario season is short — courses in the Greater Toronto Area typically close from late autumn through spring. That long off-season is exactly why so many Toronto golfers travel south each winter for warm-weather rounds.
At about 4.5 hours nonstop, Cap Cana is one of the most accessible quality golf destinations from Toronto — and one of the few where you can play championship oceanfront golf without a connection. The winter timing lines up perfectly with the Dominican dry season, when Punta Espada is at its best.
Home courses for Toronto golfers include St. George's, Toronto Golf Club, and Angus Glen — exceptional layouts, but closed half the year, and none with 8 holes directly on the Caribbean Sea carrying Jack Nicklaus's signature.
Punta Espada's 8 oceanfront holes play directly above and alongside the Caribbean. The trade winds shift every hole, and the par-3s over open sea are among the most photographed tee shots in golf. Because Villa Espada sits inside the 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.
Toronto travellers — whether a golf foursome, a multi-generational family, or a corporate group — value the combination of a short nonstop flight, a near-zero time change, and a fully staffed private estate. Villa Espada's 6- or 8-bedroom capacity and Punta Espada access make it a natural winter escape from Ontario.
Two foursomes, 6 or 8 bedrooms, member-guest tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for a Teeth of the Dog day trip. The classic winter golf escape.
Golf Packages →Executive golf outings, client entertainment, and leadership events. Villa Espada offers the privacy, exclusivity, and golf access Toronto corporate groups look for — all under one roof.
Corporate Packages →6 or 8 bedrooms, two private pools, chef service — the golfers play while the rest of 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. El Dorado Park is a few minutes away, 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. For groups travelling 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.
Nonstop flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) take about 4.5 hours. Punta Cana is one of the most-connected airports in the Caribbean, with frequent nonstop and connecting service from Toronto, especially during the December-to-April winter season.
The Dominican Republic runs on Atlantic Standard Time and does not observe daylight saving. That means Cap Cana is one hour ahead of Toronto in winter and the same time as Toronto in summer, so there is little to no jet lag either way.
Villa Espada is about 15 to 20 minutes from the PUJ airport gate and roughly 25 to 35 minutes door-to-door. A private airport transfer is included with every stay, so your driver meets your flight and brings you straight to the villa.
