Corales golf course

Corales 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 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 in March 2018 and 2019. The event will return in September 2020.

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

Punta Espada golf course

Punta Espada 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. Additionally, the design also guarantees that golfers of all levels are accommodated, including those playing at 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.
