Jack Nicklaus's Second Caribbean Gem

Las Iguanas is the highly anticipated second Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Cap Cana — and it is now open. Built with a $26 million investment, the 18-hole championship layout sits right next door to the legendary Punta Espada, offering a completely different Nicklaus experience through open parkland, natural wetlands, and a protected nature preserve.

Ten inland lakes shape the strategy on virtually every hole, while three dramatic oceanside holes (12 through 14) hug the rocky Caribbean shoreline. The course winds alongside caves, indigenous vegetation, and the native iguanas that gave it its name — creating a round that feels as much like a nature safari as a golf experience.

Where Punta Espada is cliff-edge drama on every swing, Las Iguanas is a more diverse, parkland-style test where wind, water, and wetlands dictate your approach. Together, the two courses give Villa Espada guests access to 36 holes of Jack Nicklaus genius without ever leaving Cap Cana.

The Villa Espada advantage: Las Iguanas is just a 3-minute golf cart ride from Villa Espada. Your butler arranges tee times on both Nicklaus courses — play Punta Espada at member rates in the morning and Las Iguanas in the afternoon, or mix and match across your entire stay.

Two Nicklaus Courses, One Villa

No other villa in Cap Cana gives you direct fairway access to Punta Espada plus a 3-minute ride to Las Iguanas. Villa Espada is the only rental property positioned between both courses.
