Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay

My team mate and I have enjoyed this golf course despite a super hot day. Nice golf course and back 9 is super long. Course is very well maintained and offers on course cantina with drinks and food.

The club bar at end is also vey nice. Really a nice place to enjoy a round of golf

I was looking forward to this course as the other course is nearby in Punta Cana or all priced well over $300. This price was decent, but I clearly understand why. If you’re looking for bells and whistles and extremely beautiful views of the ocean, this is not your spot. If you are looking for quiet, well kept holes and friendly service at a very reasonable price while vacationing this is your spot. I did have one issue when a Marshall came and spoke to us about our pace for play. We are in fact, managing our pace of play well. The problem was two ladies behind us who were teeing off while we were still playing the hole. They had no regard for us, and was rushing as if we weren’t playing in a decent pace. Words were exchanged twice with the ladies before the Marshall showed up. We were right and lock in step with the group ahead of us, and the Marshall apologized, and went to speak to the ladies. Steele turned out to be a good day.

Emailed the clubhouse in the morning, and a very helpful and professional Roberto Martinez answered all my questions (I had many) and was very welcoming. I booked for later that day on a “hot deal” On arrival I was met with several friendly smiles from all members of staff. Plenty of information on services available, food and drink, where to collect the rental clubs etc.

rentals were perfectly functional, and they grabbed me a spider putter as well. Was paired with a guy called Ray from Wisconsin who was a legend, had played the course many times and advised me all the way around. Hard Rock should pay him to play with guests haha.

Course was well maintained, but if you hit in the crap, don’t expect to find that again. Drinks cart pulled up 3 times over the 18 which was more than welcome for a cold beer and to top up the supplied cooler with more water.

I intend to play two or three courses these next 7 days, but I think now I’ll play one less different course and go back to Hard Rock instead, just for the overall experience there.

Hard Rock Golf Course makes golfing in the Dominican Republic affordable but you truly get what you pay for. There are no beautiful views, well kept grounds, dynamic meals. It’s truly an inexpensive way to golf if you cannot get into the other places or if you don’t want to spend over $200.

Staff friendliness. Value for your money. Course in great shape

The start the range balls looked like sat at the bottom of a swamp for 10 years. The staff is friendly. Starter was cool. Saw them towing the drunk cart back on the 2nd hole. We didn’t see it until around the 14th hole. Turns out it was broke down and they had to repair it. Was kinda brutal on the front because we only had 4 waters and were starving. It was 90* feels like 105*. Course conditions were pretty rough. Greens were hairy.

Thank God I got a deal on GN for $78. After talking to a guy who we let play through and finding out what he paid it was a steal. I’m amazed that a course that’s owned by such a powerful company as the HardRock that the place was in such sad shape and they don’t even have a back up drink cart.

Saying all of that, I’d play it again lol. The layout is good and they’re the only ones who offer early hot deals

I played as a single. Staff was very friendly. Some Holes were not marked. Maintenance was walking ahead of me on two or three holes raking bunkers. I had to wait or hit into them. Golf pass was cheapest afternoon rate I could find. $180. High in my opinion considering the conditions of fairways and greens. I did enjoy my round. Around two hours. Did not see another golfer.

Enjoyed our time. Perfect for couples and people of all skill levels. Friendly staff and professional.

I played there 3 weeks ago and the greens were rough because of aeration but three weeks later I played them again and they really have not improved very much I was pretty disappointed

I love the Hard Rock Punta Cana course. Beautiful layout professional staff. The only criticism is the equipment mainly carts and paths. Need to invest money. Now let’s talk about the Golf Now lack of communication which is hardly unusual. This course was under renovation which I did not know when booking as golf now per usual failed to reveal this in their HOT DEAL description which is their greed as usual. See they take your money know course conditions let you pay money then issue you a credit not a refund. If you book a regular tee time it states actual course conditions. HOT DEAL money belongs to GOLF NOW. They are greedy and have deceptive practices. Wait to you See my other review on golf course PUNTA ESPADA!! I have found booking directly with the course 80-100 percent of the time is better.

I recently played a round at the Hard Rock Punta Cana golf course and unfortunately left disappointed due to a lack of clear communication at check‑in. My playing partner and I were not informed that our tee time was considered a twilight round. Because of this, we were unexpectedly ushered off the course at 6 PM — despite having paid for a full 18‑hole round and not even completing nine holes.

Had we been properly notified at registration, I would have adjusted my pace of play and addressed the issue of being charged for 18 holes under conditions that made finishing the round impossible. The course itself is beautiful and well‑maintained, but the guest experience suffered due to this oversight. Clear communication is essential, and I hope management improves this process for future players.

Had a 9:10am tee time. Pace was good. Course is well maintained and overall a nice, well maintained course.

Premium clubs were not available for rent at the club house, I Was only offered the cheaper rental clubs and they were basically unusable. Wedge was rusted and well worn beyond use. I was Given graphite senior flex shafts on the irons. Driver and woods were dented and face was way worn. The Bag was beat up and torn.

When I mentioned to the starter that the clubs were in horrible condition and if there was any other set available, he said "yes, I know".

The range left a lot to be desired as it was all torn up and barley any grass left.

They also did not bother to fill the cart cooler with ice so I had luke warm water all round. The cart's brakes barely worked and locking mechanism did not work. For the cost I would expect better carts, rental clubs, and amenities.
