La Cana Golf Course

This is a 27-hole oceanside golf course located at the exclusive PUNTACANA Resort & Club in Punta Cana. La Cana is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Caribbean. P. B. Dye designed this spectacular seaside golf course which has 27 holes; Tortuga, Arrecife, and Hacienda (the new 9 holes). 14 holes feature views of the Caribbean Sea, and 4 holes play directly along the ocean.

P. B. Dye has designed each hole to present its own unique challenge; sometimes infuriating but always memorable. The typical P. B. Dye pot bunkers are ever-present to create a different challenge for the players.

Golf Magazine is particularly fond of Arrecife's 9th hole. They reported that "the grand par five, ninth is a gentle dogleg to the left that is clearly inspired by the famous 18th at Pebble Beach - the shoreline is sandier, the water bluer and the journey more challenging".

Golf course facilities include driving range, restaurant & bar ($), pro shop ($), shower, and locker rooms.

Corales golf course

This championship golf course is located at the exclusive PUNTACANA Resort & Club in Punta Cana. Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in November 2009, Corales is a dramatic 18-hole course with 6 Caribbean ocean side holes and 10 holes with ocean view. 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.

Furthermore, the exhilarating challenge culminates in playing the "Devil's Elbow", which features the striking 18th hole with a dramatic forced carry over the cliffs and ocean. These last 3 holes are arguably three of golf's most scenic but sternest tests. The 18th hole is "The Mother of All Holes" and serves as a fitting conclusion to 7,650 yards of the best golf found anywhere in the world.

The Corales residential community features a private enclave of luxurious homes and golf course side estate lots. The seven hundred acres of the Corales community are just a part of the extensive acreage of the PUNTACANA Resort & Club. The Corales golf club accepts a limited number of external guests.

Corales hosted the PGA TOUR event in the Dominican Republic, The Corales PUNTACANA Resort & Club Championship since 2018.

Golf course facilities include driving range, restaurant & bar ($), pro shop ($), shower, and locker rooms.

This is a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course located at the exclusive Cap Cana Resort in Punta Cana. Beautifully integrated into the existing landscape of Cap Cana, players will enjoy spectacular sea views and close-up encounters with nature. 9 holes are situated directly on the ocean side and all 18 holes have unique ocean views.

Punta Espada was designed to incorporate the natural features of the landscape into its topography; the bluffs, the beach, the lagoons, and the foliage. The design also guarantees that golfers of all levels are accommodated, including those playing at a world championship level.

In 2008, 2009, and 2010 the PGA Champions Tour played the Cap Cana Championship at Punta Espada. Golf Week Magazine selected Punta Espada as the best golf course in the Caribbean and Mexico for 2010, 2011, and 2012.
