Punta Espada is an 18-hole, par-72 Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. It opened in November 2006 as the first of the planned Nicklaus Signature courses at Cap Cana. The championship card extends to 7,396 yards, with multiple forward tee options.
Eight holes play along or over the Caribbean Sea, making the coastline an integral part of the routing rather than simply a backdrop. Punta Espada hosted the Cap Cana Championship on the PGA Tour Champions in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The course has repeatedly received international ranking recognition, including Golfweek Caribbean and Mexico rankings and inclusion in Golf Digest's global lists.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 7,396 yards. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course originally opened in 2006. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving range, Putting green, Chipping area, Practice bunker, Pro shop, Restaurant, Caddie service, Golf carts, and 2 more.
Punta Espada was conceived as the first of the Jack Nicklaus Signature courses planned for the Cap Cana development and opened in November 2006.
Nicklaus used the Caribbean shoreline, coastal inlets and existing land contours as central routing elements. Sea carries and holes directly beside the coast form a significant part of the course rather than being isolated features.
Within two years of opening, Punta Espada had become a professional tournament venue, staging the inaugural Cap Cana Championship in 2008 and retaining the event through 2010.
Golfweek repeatedly ranked Punta Espada at the top of its Caribbean and Mexico lists, while Golf Digest has included it in international rankings.
Punta Espada remains an operating resort course at Cap Cana with public visitor tee times and a mandatory caddie component included in its published rate structure.
