punta espada golf course

This is a very nice golf course; but it is over priced, the management is not very friendly and if it doesn't work out deals with the local hotels, they will find themselves all alone with what could be their business going elsewhere.Most of us avid golfers travel with family and though in my mind the golf is the destination, that is not the case with the rest of the family. This isn't Pebble Beach and there are other courses that are equal or better in the area.

The course was amazing with wonderful views of the ocean on almost every hole. We had an amazing caddy which was part of the green fees. If you never played with a caddy you are in for a real treat. The club house offers a very lunch lunch and the shop had a huge selection.The only downside was the rental clubs were a little dated

It's by far the most expensive round of golf I've ever played but it's also the most memorable round because of the experience. An unbelievably beautiful course that even the pictures don't fully convey. Though very challenging and much above the skill of myself and my two duffer companions, we still agreed it was nevertheless worth submitting ourselves to the punishment. Our caddy was extremely personable and knew the course like the back of his hand. His direction on the greens even allowed us to drop in some pretty decent putts. Biggest recommendation I would make to management: replace those eight year-old rental clubs -- a course of this stature should have better equipment. With so many places on my list I don't know if I'll ever make it back to the Dominican Republic but if I do, Punta Espada will be first on my list.

Imagine the perfect weather (sunny but with wind), 8 holes so close to the sea that you could jump in it and a quality of fairways, greens, course design that you could find in PGA tour! You are not dreaming, you have just played a round in the best golf course ever!Only "little" problem is green fee price but it worthy!!!

If you love to play golf, you cannot pass up playing this track. Yes, it's not cheap but it's worth it. The course was in great shape and very playable. It's an intimidating looking course at first but the fairways are wide and the greens roll perfectly. The practice area is top notch and caddies are required - he was very helpful on reading the greens and overall service. I will play this course every time I'm in the DR.

This is a very pricey, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course in Cap Cana. Our Matron of Honor and her husband treated us to a round of golf during our honeymoon after getting married in Punta Cana, What a great wedding present, and they came along to enjoy it with us (he played, she rode).Not a blade of grass out of place, and spectacular views from everywhere.If you can handle the cost, you won't be disappointed.

If you are trying to decide whether or not to play this course: DO IT!! We played 18 holes in early February. The weather was perfect and the course matched. I have been fortunate enough to play numerous top rated courses and this one is at the top of my list! There is an ocean view from every hole (sometimes just the tee box, sometimes at the green). Many of the holes play right along the ocean. The views on this golf course are some of the best in the world! Better than Pebble Beach (although not as iconic a course). The course was in top shape, including the greens. The fairways are large and open so that helps the "playability" factor. We probably would have played better if we weren't constantly looking around and taking pictures. The clubhouse and bar area are also top end. The staff was very helpful and friendly.Finally, our caddy, Orlando, was THE BEST!!! He made us feel so comfortable and really helped reading greens and selecting clubs if you asked. He also took pictures of us on the most scenic greens. He is a true asset to Punta Espada and, if you play, you should ask for Orlando! We will most definitely be requesting his services on our next visit!

Went to the Hard Rock Resort for several days and heard the reviews of Punta Espada and had to try it. I was a single since the other husbands in our large group elected to stay on property. To begin, the course is located in a gated region near Punta Cana called Cap Cana. It is absolutely beautiful and approximately 15-20 mins from the airport and 40 mins from the Hard Rock Casino. I booked through golf punta cana and the provided transportation in their quote of $375. This also included caddie fee, range balls, and golf.The course is truly spectacular. It reminds me of Torrey Pines, Kapalua or Pebble Beach with more holes on the ocean. Even the holes away from the ocean are gorgeous and the fairways are meticulously groomed. I am from East Tennessee and play many exclusive mountain courses in our area and this course was so much more. My caddie Franscisco was very knowledgable and read the greens perfectly. I have not played Teeth of the Dog but heard from others in our transport van that Punta Espada is better.Don't miss the opportunity and was the best golf course I have played.

Third time I played here and cannot wait to return next year. Gorgeous course. I am a 28 handicap, female golfer, and although challenging for me, this was eminently playable from forward tees. Husband liked it a lot, too (22 handicap). Beautiful clubhouse and our caddie, Raphael, was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Played here on 3rd of jan,greens were in great shape,some great sea holes,looked after very well in club house,had a nice lunch there too.

I played the course twice on a recent visit. It is a really fun; challenging and fair course that is beautifully maintained. The course is picturesque throughout with amazing water views on more than half of the holes and on quite a few of the holes the water was crashing on the rocks by the greens or the tees. I was not overly impressed with my caddie experience but it didn't detract from the experience. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of being a lazy traveler choosing to rent clubs on my visit and the quality of the clubs available was abysmal (nine years old; rusty and broken in some cases). I would have thought that a course like this would have had club manufacturers clamoring to stock them.

Stunning golf course in fantastic shape and an extremely memorable round. Highly recommended and tough enough to challenge the most accomplished golfer. Nicklaus hard but stunningly beautiful.

My husband & I played golf three times here and had a blast! The course is challenging but with guidance from our fore caddy I had some decent rounds. Best views with most holes along the ocean. Expensive but really made our trip more enjoyable since we had so many issues with our hotel. Orlando was our favorite - he was very attentive and funny!

this golf course is fun, interesting, well maintained and has some incredible views!On top, the caddies are very nice and there knowledge of the course is very valuable
