Published 2026 green fees for the country's premier courses — led by Punta Espada, the #1 course in the Caribbean — and how Villa Espada guests play it at the member-guest discounted rate.
Seventeen golf courses and facilities lie within about a two-hour drive of Cap Cana — see every one plotted on the interactive Cap Cana map. At current published pricing, a premium 18-hole round ranges from about $185 at La Cana in low season to about $649 including tax for a guest round at Teeth of the Dog. Punta Espada in Cap Cana — Villa Espada's home course — runs from $395 for a summer afternoon round to $550 for a peak-season morning round, with the golf cart, mandatory caddie and 18% tax already included in that number.
Every figure below is a published rack rate — the price a walk-up or resort guest pays. Villa Espada guests receive the member-guest discounted rate at Punta Espada (about $200 per golfer, per round below the published rate), booked by the villa butler, so the rack rate is not what you pay to play the home course. Rates verified August 2026 and subject to change — confirm directly with each course before booking.
Punta Espada is a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, par 72, opened in 2006, with 8 holes on the Caribbean Sea. GolfWeek ranks it the #1 course in the Caribbean and Mexico, and it appears in Golf Digest's world top 100. Villa Espada sits directly on Fairway 5.
Its published green fee looks higher than some neighbors, but it is an all-in number — the golf cart, the mandatory caddie fee and the 18% Dominican tax are all already inside the rate. Many other courses quote a lower green fee and add cart, caddie and tax on top.

Estimated member-guest discounted rates are approximate: the Villa Espada member-guest discount runs about $200 per golfer, per round below the published guest green fee, and is available only to Villa Espada renters at Punta Espada (Las Iguanas is played at regular rates). Package figures show the estimated per-round cost. *Replay and junior are already reduced no-caddie rates, so the discount is largely absorbed by the lower published price.
Green fee · golf cart · mandatory caddie fee · 18% Dominican ITBIS tax · unlimited practice-range balls · yardage book · scorecard · tees · water on the course. (Junior and replay rates do not include the caddie fee.)
Rental clubs $75 · rider fee $25 · driving range for residents & registered guests $25 · rental shoes $30.
The public pays up to $550 for a peak-season morning round on Fairway 5. Villa Espada guests play the same course at the member-guest discounted rate — a reduced green fee available only to villa renters, about $200 per golfer, per round below the published rate — with the butler booking and confirming every tee time in advance. Two 6-person golf carts and airport transfers are included with the villa, and the brand-new Las Iguanas course is a 3-minute cart ride away.

Rates are published/current figures in USD per player, verified August 2026. Some are external-booking or third-party listing prices rather than official rack rates; caddie, cart and tax rules vary by course. Juan Dolio courses are the outer edge of the two-hour radius and can exceed two hours with traffic. Confirm current pricing and access directly with each course before booking.

Rates and availability are subject to change. All prices on this page are published rates verified in August 2026, shown in U.S. dollars. Green fees, access rules, maintenance schedules, taxes and inclusions can change without notice. Confirm current pricing and tee-time availability directly with each course before booking. Punta Espada's published rate already includes 18% ITBIS tax, cart and mandatory caddie, which can make direct comparisons with pre-tax rates at other courses misleading.
Punta Espada's published 2026 non-member green fee is $495 for a morning round and $395 for an afternoon round in summer, rising to $550 morning and $440 afternoon in peak season. That number already includes the golf cart, mandatory caddie fee and 18% tax. Villa Espada guests play at the member-guest discounted rate instead (about $200 per golfer, per round below this rate), booked by the villa butler.
Yes. The published Punta Espada fee includes the green fee, golf cart, mandatory caddie, 18% ITBIS tax, unlimited range balls, yardage book, scorecard, tees and water on the course. Junior and replay rates are the exception — they do not include the caddie fee.
Teeth of the Dog's published guest rate is $550, or about $649 with the 18% Dominican tax. Dye Fore is $400 (≈$472 with tax) and The Links is $325 (≈$383.50 with tax). Villa Espada guests can arrange play at all three Casa de Campo courses through the villa's access.
Among the premium courses, La Cana at Puntacana Resort is the lowest published external-guest rate — about $185 low season and $250 high season — with a mandatory caddie additional. Corales at the same resort is $395 low and $495 high.
No. These are the public rack rates. Villa Espada guests receive the Punta Espada member-guest discounted rate with every stay — a reduced green fee exclusive to villa renters through the villa's private arrangement with the course (about $200 per golfer, per round below the published rate) — and the butler books and confirms each round in advance so you see the rate before you play.
The Dominican Republic packs the Caribbean's greatest golf into one compact region — Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, P.B. Dye and Pete Dye designs within a 90-minute radius. Villa Espada sits directly on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada, with the member-guest discounted rate included, two 6-person golf carts, and the brand-new Las Iguanas course three minutes away. Compare the courses in depth on the full golf-courses guide, see where each sits on the Cap Cana map, or check villa nightly rates to plan your stay.
Skip the rack rate. Villa Espada guests play the #1 course in the Caribbean at the member-guest discounted rate — about $200 per golfer, per round below the published fee — with every tee time, cart and caddie arranged by your butler. Tell us your dates and group size for a golf package.
