Campo de Golf Punta Espada

Combine a guy who knows what he is doing (Jack Niklaus) with a great piece of land and a beautiful setting next to the ocean. There you have the 18 holes of Punta Espada. A definite must play if you are ever in the Area.

Everything is top. Difficult to play because of The pictures

Absolutely amazing golf course, you have to play it because of the stunning views, nice staff and the very good conditions. Don't miss but bring some golf balls with you..

While in the Dominican Republic you have to play a round at Punta Espada. Punta Espada is competing to become the best course in the DR if not the best in the Caribbean. Like most of Jack Nicklaus courses the fairways are generous but shots into the greens are strategic. It’s surprising how many holes are on the water, with 8 in total. With the property not having the white sand beaches but a rocky shoreline, Jack was able to design his holes right on the water. The course does not beat you up and that’s refreshing for a top ranked resort course. There are so many noteworthy holes but my favorite would be the par 4 17th. It’s a really fun hole right on the ocean. Depending on how many drinks you have had through the first 16 holes you may decide to ‘grip and rip it’ at the possibility of driving the green. If you have a great caddie like I did they won’t let you hit anything less than driver on the 17th. Punta Kanta is becoming a very attractive destination with Southwest flying nonstop flights all day from the US. More and more top all-inclusive resorts are popping up all down the east side of the DR. Next time you find yourself down in the DR, don’t forget about Punta Espada.
