Punta Espada Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus's Caribbean Masterpiece

Punta Espada is not just the Caribbean's finest golf course — it is one of the finest golf courses in the world. Designed by Jack Nicklaus at the height of his design powers, the course opened in 2006 and was included in Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses Outside the United States within seven months of opening. GolfWeek has ranked it the #1 course in the Caribbean and Mexico multiple times. Robb Report placed it among the "Best of the Best Golf Courses in the World."

The course plays 18 holes at par 72, with nine holes directly on or along the Atlantic Ocean — creating an oceanside golf experience that has been described as the finest consecutive sequence of seaside holes in the Caribbean. The fairways follow Cap Cana's dramatic limestone headlands, with the ocean crashing below on one side and Caribbean jungle on the other.

Punta Espada also served as the host venue for the Cap Cana Championship, a PGA Champions Tour event broadcast nationally on Golf Channel — cementing its status as a venue worthy of professional competition at the highest level.

The Villa Espada advantage: Your villa sits directly on Fairway 5, the most iconic stretch of the course. You wake up with golf course views, have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the fairway, and walk to the first tee in minutes — at exclusive member rates arranged by your personal butler.
