Punta Espada Golf Course

Par: 72 Length: 7396 yards Course designer: Jack Nicklaus Venue: USPGA Champions Tour – Cap Cana Championship

Punta Espada Golf Course is a modern championship course designed by the great Jack Nicklaus to incorporate the natural features of the landscape into its topography - the bluffs, beach, waterways and foliage. Eight of Punta Espada’s holes play alongside the Caribbean, with stunning views and more than three miles of white-sand beaches. The signature hole, if you had to pick just one, is the 13th, a 249-yard par-three that plays directly over the sea (with a bail-out area to the right). Punta Espada plays host to legends of the game each March for the Champions Tour’s Cap Cana Championship.

Las Iguanas

Par: 72 Length: 7200 yards Course designer: Jack Nicklaus

The Jack Nicklaus-designed Las Iguanas is scheduled to open in Spring 2010. Cap Cana's first course, Punta Espada, has already been named one of the world's 100 best. The Cap Cana resort will house Golden Bear Lodge, the world's first Nicklaus-designed luxury condominium village located between Las Iguanas and Punta Espada. For visitors to Cap Cana ahead of the opening of the Las Iguanas Golf Course, Lorrin Golf packages will instead include an additional round at Punta Espada.
