Punta Cana Golf Paradise
Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic has long been known as
a great vacation destination for beach lovers, but did you
know that it is the best golfing destination in the
Caribbean and has some of the best golf courses in the
world? There are ten courses open and many more are under
construction. No other Caribbean location offers the quality
and variety of golf that is now available in Punta Cana.
Punta Espada, the Jack Nicklaus designed course in the Cap
Cana development, is the best golf course in the Caribbean
and Mexico according to Golfweek magazine. They rated Punta
Espada golf course number one of the top 50 courses in the
Caribbean and Mexico. This immaculate course will only be
open for public play for a short time, so get there before
it goes private as it is something special, with 8 holes
directly on the ocean. Jack Nicklaus is currently building
another course in Cap Cana called Las Iguanas which promises
to add even more to the golfing choices available in Punta
Cana.
Jack Nicklaus isn't the only famous golf course designer in
this area. Nick Faldo,Tom Fazio and P.B.Dye also have
designed courses. The newly opened Faldo Legacy at Roko Ki
golf course has two stunning holes set dramatically on
oceanside headlands and has been named one of the ten best
new courses in the world for 2008 by Travel and Leisure golf
magazine. Tom Fazio has designed the Corales course which is
a private, members only course, but it is available for play
to anyone who stays at the spectacular Tortuga Bay Villas.
P.B. dye has designed the La Cana golf course which also
hugs the ocean and is located at Punta Cana Resort and Club.
Other courses available include: Barcelo Bavaro Golf Club,
White Sands golf course, Cocotal Golf and Country Club,
Cabeza de Toro golf course (9 hole), Punta Blanca course and
Catalonia Caribe course. Courses currently under
construction include: La Hacienda golf course and the Moon
Palace course and others are set to start construction this
year.
There has never been a better time to experience the wealth
of golfing choices available in this Caribbean golf heaven.
