The Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay is situated along the white sand shores of the stunning mangrove-lined Macao Beach, conveniently located near the Punta Cana International Airport. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the golf course is yet another outstanding design in his repertoire. Nicklaus carefully preserved the rich natural surroundings to ensure that the beauty of the Dominican landscape was kept at the forefront. The layout's rolling fairways and greens weave through native flora and fauna, providing golfers with a truly unique round in a tropical setting. There are expansive lakes that come into play on several holes as well as numerous strategically placed bunkers throughout.

Overpriced

For what a normal greens fee costs, it seems like you are being taken advantage of. The range only has grass for 150 yards and past that is concrete. The range balls are beat to pieces. Golf carts are in need of replacing. No GPS. Course layout is good but for what you pay the condition itself is subpar. Seems to me they know they will get foot traffic so they charge what they want. Wouldn’t have played and paid if I had known what I was stepping in to.

On a positive note the staff was GREAT and very friendly.

Biggest bang for your buck

Thanks to golf now’s rates and the accumulated points, plus the redeemable monthly bonuses this course is truly the biggest bang for your buck. The arrival is well organized, friendly and fast. This is an all inclusive golf, that includes all beverages and sandwiches, muffins, croissants etc… price also includes cart, practice range, putting area and if you plan on playing multiple days you can leave your clubs for free. Staff at the starters station are very friendly and helpful. The course is in excellent condition, fairways are very well maintained and forgiving, greens are in great shape and challenging.

Tidy course

Course was in good condition and offered a decent variety of holes. Greens were in good condition and ran true. Fairways were also in great condition and there was very little rough (you are either with a good lie, bunker or jungle). Staff were all friendly and as I turned up early I was able to get on earlier than booked which was a pleasant surprise. Rental clubs were of good quality (saw a few negative reviews of these ahead of the round but I had no complaints)

Great except for the cart woman.

I played there many times and always had good experience with the staff. Even when I am going for a while when I come back they tell me it's great to have you back. But this time the cart girl didn't show up until I think it was the seventh hole. We almost had to scream and hurt to get her to stop she didn't smile so I figured she was having a bad day. I ordered two beers and a shot and she even gave me a funny look for that. To make her feel better I gave her a 500 peso tip and she did not acknowledge it smile or say thank you. I saw her walking behind the bar later and even with her co-workers I never saw a smile or interaction. She shouldn't be a cart person.

Good when at a discount green fee

Course conditions were generally very good. Greens rolled well. Bunkers were playable but you’ll need to move the odd rock. Good test from purple tees. Back nine plays easier.

It seems the upgraded rentals are the only real option to play with at $75usd. Paid $112 for the green fee. At that total price it’s ok. At full rack rate I wouldn’t do it again.
