La Cana Golf Club is a 27-hole championship complex at the Puntacana Resort & Club, designed by P.B. Dye and widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable golf experiences in the Caribbean. Three distinct nines — Tortuga, Arrecife, and Hacienda — offer variety that keeps you coming back round after round.
Fourteen holes feature views of the Caribbean Sea, with four holes playing directly along the shoreline. The Arrecife nine is the standout, featuring an island-green par 3 inspired by the famous 17th at TPC Sawgrass (designed by P.B.'s father Pete Dye), and a spectacular two-hole oceanside finish that Golf Magazine compared to Pebble Beach. The magazine declared La Cana the "number one course in the Caribbean."
La Cana was also the first course in the Caribbean to use paspalum grass, an environmentally friendly turf that thrives in the tropical climate and can be irrigated with sea water — keeping the course in pristine condition year-round.
The Villa Espada advantage: La Cana is approximately 15 minutes by car from Villa Espada. Your private chauffeur drives you to the course, and your butler arranges tee times. Combined with Corales next door, the Puntacana Resort offers 45 holes — making it an ideal day-trip complement to the two Nicklaus courses at Cap Cana.
With 27 holes across three distinct nines, La Cana lets your group play a different 18 every day. Pair it with Corales next door for 45 holes at Puntacana Resort alone — all just 15 minutes from Villa Espada.
Stay at Villa Espada and play four world-class courses: Punta Espada, Las Iguanas, Corales, and La Cana. Your butler and chauffeur handle every detail.
