Villa Espada guests play Punta Espada at the reduced club member guest rate — not the public rack rate — because the villa holds access that the butler uses to book your tee times. This is one of the clearest advantages of the estate: on a course ranked number one in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek, member-rate access meaningfully lowers the cost of every round across a golf week.
Across a five- or seven-night golf trip, the gap between member rates and rack rates adds up quickly for a foursome playing most days. Because the carts are already at the villa and the butler books everything, the logistics that usually eat a golf trip — securing tee times, arranging transport, coordinating a group — simply disappear. You play; the villa handles the rest.
Villa Espada sleeps up to 22 and includes a private chef, a butler and villa manager, daily maid service, two six-person golf carts, a private airport transfer, and Punta Espada member-rate tee times arranged by the butler. To confirm current member-rate details for your dates, contact the villa directly, or see the golf page and rates.
Because green fees are billed at checkout rather than bundled into the villa rate, it is worth confirming a few specifics for your dates when you inquire: the current Punta Espada member-rate green fee, how many rounds your group expects, and whether you want Las Iguanas added at its regular rate. The butler can hold priority tee times for holiday weeks, which fill early. This transparency is deliberate — you pay member rates on the actual rounds you play, with no marked-up golf package layered on top, which is usually the most cost-effective way for a foursome to play a top-ranked course across a week.
It is worth booking golf early for peak and holiday weeks, when tee times are in demand across Cap Cana. The butler can hold priority Punta Espada times as soon as your dates are confirmed and add Las Iguanas rounds at its regular rate to round out the schedule. Because the carts live at the villa and the tee sheet is managed for you, a group can play most days without ever dealing with a pro shop directly — the logistics simply happen in the background.
