Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana

Clubhouse was being refurbished. So was basically a but. Driving range ok. But balls were very tired.

Course ok. Not the most interesting and lots of wasteland. Loads of building going on around course. Suspect as it fills up will improve.

Think there's better options and better value locally. .

This is a resort golf course, but noneless is in beautiful conditions! Not too many people out there so I was able to play in 3 hours. Staff very friendly.

I was a bit shock that the course was akin to a local muni course. The practice areas was less to be desired with an assortment of used and cracked ranged balls. The course was decent with slow green. The course was fairly easy, but unmanicured greens and fairways made it more challenging.

Every time I go to this course, it seems to be in worse shape. A driving range balls or ridiculously terrible

Greens were slow and bumpy. Driving range was not in good shape at all. And the bulls at the driving range, we're terrible. There was no way to tell which part of the green pins were on cause.There's no type of marker or color. And some of the yardage markers on the side were off by twenty or thirty yards. I played there three or four months ago, and it was in much better shape.

Was a little concerned about course condition after using the range and practice green before starting my round. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the course. Overall, the course from tee to green was in generally good shape. There were some burn out spots here and there in fairway, the sand traps were not the best (with small rocks in the sand), and greens were very slow and a bit spongy. All in all, it was fun, interesting layout with a few exceptionally visually stunning holes particularly on the back side.

Certainly, not the nicest course in DR, but for the price I felt it was a good value for a Caribbean golf experience!

It was a good round and the course is pretty well maintained but the price is a little steep. I probably won’t golf there again but it was cool to experience it once.

This is an amazing course that flows so nice. The greens are in very good shape along with amazing fairways. The bunkers we great,with ŵhite soft sand.. Then when we finished we went in the Pro shop,the staff was very friendly and helpful. We bought gifts for my parents that play golf and a couple golf outfits for my wife,and I got a shirt. My overall rating for Hard Rock golf course is a 10.

Very enjoyable round of golf course in good condition with well kept greens and good design

Service on arrival was excellent - staff friendly and helpful - good driving range. Some challenging holes with water but also many open fairways.

Would recommend to anyone visit the area

The bar could have a wider range of good including breakfast rolls and lunch - all a bit basic

Overall a good experience and would go bank again

The staff could not have been nicer. The course was in great condition and I played in just over 3 hours as a single. Being all inclusive was a great surprise when I showed up. I was only asked to buy balls once and I have empathy for the people that are trying to make a few bucks. Instead of buying golf balls I gave them some new balls that I brought hoping they can sell them to help feed their family's. They were very polite and appreciated this. I will return again as soon as possible. Went to the Hard Rock Casino after and left there with my shirt and a few extra dollars. Tip, being a Nicklaus course if you miss a shot always miss to the right as that's how Jack designs all his courses.

- layout is poor

- range balls are old shag balls pulled out of the woods

- 5 times in the round grounds crew approached us to try and sell balls, one of my drives was picked up by a worker, once he realized I was looking for it, he told me it hit a tree and dropped it into the fairway. He was wearing a “security” shirt - had a bucket and a chair sitting inadvertently in the trees.

- the amount of money you pay to play here is insane. $150-300 a round - it’s worth no more than $75-120.

- I’m shocked there are not lower reviews

Arriving at the golf course all things seemed great, however that was short lived. Tee'd off at one and was on cloud 9, course conditions were great, then get to 2 and tons of construction.

Hard to focus on golf when there are jack hammers rattling off constantly. I thought no big deal I'll get past this hole and it'll be fine but nope. The whole front 9 was construction. To make matters worse I ran into grounds staff on 3, they had a tow behind leaf blowers going all around the green while I was trying to hit to that green. Once I got up to the green they asked if I wanted to buy any balls, I politely declined, they asked again as I was walking off the green; I declined again. I went to the next hole and was on the tee box when the leaf blower came around the corner. I didn't think much about it until they continued to follow me hole after hole. I asked them to please stop by they kept following me, this kept happening all the way to hole 9, constant leaf blowing while I'm trying to hit and construction noises on top of that.

It was anything but relaxing and I couldn't focus on golf.

To top it off the golf cart was in terrible shape and seemed to be the motor was going out. Anytime I went up a slight hill it would struggle and jerk repeatedly barely making it up the hill.

I've been to 3 other courses while I've been here and this has been the worst. La cana was by far the best and the Lakes Barcelo was just a couple steps below that. Those 2 I would highly recommend.

Practice facilities could be better, but overall a great experience and fun course!

I am hoping that I can get my money back. When I booked the course, I thought I was booking the course in Playa De Carmen in Cancun, Mexico. When we got to the course, they said I booked in Puerto Rico.

I clicked on the icon from a map showing Cancun, Mexico and did not know it brought up the course in Puerto Rico. I ended up paying another $140.00 x 2 for the course in Mexico.

I hope you can help me with this issue.

Great course layout. If you can get this course for under $100 it’s a great value. Drinks and food are included during and after your round. Great staff on and off the course.

Stayed at Hard Rock. Was stoked that there was a Nicklaus course on property.

The course layout is very good. It’s well-maintained. Greens were in good shape. I played 5 times in 7 days, so obviously I enjoyed it.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t include the downsides. The practice facility golf balls are literally the worst collection of shag balls I’ve ever seen. You can’t charge $225 for a round and have a range that terrible and balls that pathetic. The chipping and practice green are fine but the range itself is ghastly.

Also, for the value, you gotta book the night before or the day of. I played for about $90 each time which was what it should cost. You’ll pay a premium if you want to play early morning, and I’m sorry, that’s just not a $200+ experience.

Overall? My experience was very positive. If I came back to Hard Rock I’d play it every day like I did. Just be aware of the shortcomings and plan accordingly.
