Among the best golf destinations in the world, Punta Cana is the very picture of leisure.

1. Punta Espada Golf Course
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 544 reviews
Punta Espada Golf Course is already listed among the worlds finest, with the renowned GolfWeek ranking it as the best golf course in the Caribbean and Mexico. Eight holes play along and over the sea. From all points of Punta Espada, golfers are blessed with extraordinary views of the Caribbean, where the sea contrasts against the emerald fairways and the perfect greens. Challenging stroke play and beauty are entwined in this outstanding par 72 course, which hosted the inaugural PGA Tour’s Champions Tour in April 2008 - The Cap Cana Championship. The annual tournament is televised internationally through the Golf Channel and its license-holding subsidiaries.

Spectacular condition, perfect fairways and greens, gorgeous views and fair layout. The course by itself is not that challenging unless playing the tips with the regular wind in your face on 14 of the 18 holes then straight 230 yd drives in the wind are a must to score. Other tees are more forgiving for windy days. The par 3 250yds over the ocean with wind at your back is insane, tough to stop a ball on the target green with a 3 wood. Greens are amazing, a bit slow but true. Apeed of play is awesome took me less than 2 hours for 18 holes with caddy running. Price is high but its worth it for the bucket list. Cap Cana is an amazing place and very well designed. This is top class golf in an outstanding area.

This is a great gold experience. The property is comprised of 3, 9-hole courses. Since on of the nines is currently being renovated , you play the inland 9 first followed by the ocean course for your second nine. Both nines were in excellent condition. On the ocean nine, the Atlantic Ocean comes into play on the final 3 holes. Course plays as short as 5700 yards and over 7000 yards for those who want the challenge. Caddies are included, although you don't have to use them. Service overall was excellent

Really enjoyed playing there. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Golf course was challenging but fun as each hole was different in visual effect. Greens were true which held very well. I can’t comment on the price as I stayed at the Barcelo Palace. Cost for me was unlimited free golf with 75.00 US for cart fee. They have a 4 cart special which reduces it down to 60. Putting and chipping green are excellent. Only downside is the balls and hitting mat in range. These balls are in rough shape. Mats are hittable but really well worn. Would I go back. Absolutely. I really enjoyed playing golf there.

Just returned from our annual golf trip at the Hard Rock Hotel. This marked the 8th consecutive year that we have made the Hard Rock our destination of choice for our annual golf trip. In recent months there has been a lot of negative press regarding travel to the Dominican Republic and more specifically Punta Cana and even the Hard Rock resort. Most of this negative press was without merit and has tarnished the Dominican Republic and its people. Aside from this annual golf trip, I have travelled with my family and friends to the Dominican Republic for the past 15 years and during that time we have always felt safe and always left the Country without incident! What can I say about the golf course and the staff! I honestly never would have thought that we would still be coming back after 8 years. Prior to coming to the Hard Rock our annual golf trips were spent in either South Carolina or Scottsdale playing different courses every day. That all changed when we found this gem of a resort with this first-class golf course and staff! The course itself is a great test of golf with some challenging holes, some very fun holes and #18, a great finishing hole. Over the past several years they have added GPS to all the carts and they recently renovated the pro shop which now has a much larger selection of Merchandise. When we played this course last year, we thought that it was in the best condition of all the years that we had played it but this year it was even a notch better. The greens were in excellent condition along with the fairways. We played 27 holes a day and each day the course played differently depending on the pin position and wind direction/speed. As much as our group loves the golf course it’s the staff that makes this course a gem, you all Rock! From the attentive pro shop staff, all the guys in the back shop and even the shuttle driver, they can’t do enough to make you feel welcome. They have a great leadership team that is led by Juan Alberto and his two assistants Felicia and Ramona. Thanks again to another memorable year and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

A dramatic Tom Fazio 18-hole course with six Caribbean Oceanside holes. Designed along the natural cliffs, bays and coves of the sea, the inland lakes and coralina quarries the Corales Course rates among the World's finest golf experiences. The exhilarating challenge culminates playing the Devil's Elbow, Corales's last three holes. The Devil's Elbow features the striking 18th hole with a dramatic forced carry over the cliff lined Bay of Corales, an inspired capstone to a memorable and breathtaking golf experience.

Renowned architect, Jose "Pepe" Gancedo, six-time spanish Champion, designed the course by following the lay of the land, using the natural terrain to provide a route easily remembered long after the player finishes. Our trademark features are strategically-placed trees, bunkers, mounds and gently rolling terrain with well-defined and generous fairways without forgetting an unrelenting wind. The utilization of four sets of tees provides low-handicapped golfers with a course of great challenge, while beginners and intermediate players can continually improve their game in a player-friendly environment.

I was there for a round in February 2020. Great track, perfect condition, nice fairways, nice greens, decent rough, not a lot of obstacles but I had fun. Congrats on your tee boxes too, great shape. Very kind and caring workers. Would go back anytime.
