Punta Espada is the first of three Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses to be developed at Cap Cana. Opened in November 2006 it is already listed among the worlds finest, with the renowned GolfWeek publication ranking it as the "#1 Best Golf Course in the Caribbean and Mexico" and Golf Digest as the #76 in the World. 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.
There is a reason why after opening the golf course in the fall of 2006 the PGA’s Champions Tour selected Punta Espada Golf Club as the venue to host the Cap Cana Championship in the Dominican Republic between 2008 - 2010. Fred Couples was the tournament's last winner after posting a record-setting round of 62 (-10) to beat Corey Pavin by one shot. All 18 holes have views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea, which serves as a spectacular back drop for this perfectly manicured golf course. If you ever wanted to play like the Champions, here is your chance.
