Dominican Republic golf in the exciting Punta Cana region is highlighted by the PUNTACANA
HOTEL located two hours east of La Romana and Casa De Campo. The Punta Cana region is now one of the best Caribbean golf destinations with a growing number of great courses, near perfect beaches, and unmatched natural beauty.
PUNTACANA HOTEL is situated on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic adjacent to a nature preserve. The oceanfront and challenging P.B Dye designed golf course, great travel
convenience with the airport on resort grounds, and overall value of PUNTACANA HOTEL has us highly recommending it to golf travelers.
The Hotel is located on a three-mile stretch of white sand beach and surrounded by tropical gardens. PUNTACANA HOTEL is
part of a 15,000-acre development that includes a 1,000-acre ecological reserve. Each of the 400 rooms features
a tropical decor and balconies with ocean, garden, or golf-course views. The resort boasts its own airport (Punta Cana International) as
well as a beautiful marina and scuba center. Throughout the PUNTACANA HOTEL there are open-air common spaces fashioned from local
coral stone, wood, and Cana leaves, organic gardens, and freshwater lagoons. Additional resort amenities include a fitness
facility, boutique shopping, and a beauty spa with massage treatments. The resort caters to guests looking for a casually elegant
resort with pristine beaches and great golf.
The Hotel’s 18-hole championship P.B. Dye designed golf course opened in the year 2000 and features fourteen holes with breathtaking views of the Caribbean
Sea and four holes playing along the ocean itself. Playing on the La Cana course at Punta Cana is a dynamic golfing experience. Fairways are carpeted with
Seashore Paspalum, a revolutionary hybrid grass that can actually be irrigated with seawater and recycled water,
thereby protecting the resort's underground aquifer. This type of technology has been instrumental in the growth of better quality Caribbean golf courses. Golf Magazine writes, "The grand par-five 18th (picture below), a gentle
dogleg to the left, is clearly patterned after the famous 18th at Pebble Beach, only here the shoreline is sandier,
the water bluer, and the journey from tee to green longer and more perilous."
