Jack Nicklaus Signature · Cap Cana, Dominican Republic
Punta Espada is not simply a golf course — it is a masterpiece. Jack Nicklaus designed every hole to interact with the Caribbean Sea, the natural limestone cliffs, and the lush tropical landscape of Cap Cana's 30,000-acre estate.
Rated the #1 Golf Course in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek Magazine and featured in Robb Report's "Best of the Best Golf Courses in the World," Punta Espada has hosted the Cap Cana Championship, a PGA Champions Tour event, on multiple occasions.
Villa Espada guests enjoy the single most coveted benefit of all: exclusive member-rate tee times. A privilege reserved for resort property owners — now included with every stay.
No other rental property in Cap Cana places you directly on the Punta Espada fairway. Step off your terrace onto the course. Watch morning rounds with coffee in hand. The golf experience begins before you even leave the villa.
Punta Espada's regular visitor green fees are among the highest in the Caribbean. Villa Espada guests receive member-rate pricing — the same discounted rates reserved for Cap Cana property owners. Your butler books your tee times.
Two six-person golf carts are included with every stay — not rented, not extra. Use them to reach the course, explore Cap Cana's beaches, waterpark, marina, and restaurants. The entire resort is yours to explore.
Punta Espada's layout follows the natural terrain of Cap Cana's dramatic coastline. Nine holes play directly along the Caribbean Sea — dramatic limestone cliffs, crashing waves, and turquoise water frame every shot.
The course plays to a par 72 at championship length, challenging even the most experienced golfer while remaining thoroughly enjoyable for players at every skill level. The Golden Bear himself considered Punta Espada one of his finest works in the Caribbean.
Whether it's a foursome, a 22-person golf group, a corporate golf retreat, or a honeymoon with rounds included — your butler handles every tee time, cart, and clubhouse arrangement. You just play.
