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.

Fun Course

If you can't keep in in the fairway, bring plenty of balls. Wide open fairways that lead to more challenges around the greens. Course is pretty well maintained.

Awesome time

Great deal from GN, cab n green fees about $110...wow this also included all the drinks and sandwiches/snacks...and boy did we eat and drink! Course was in great shape, greens ran true, well watered, great fairways and the scenery was fantastic. Breeze and shades around the course were nice during the 12pm tee time. Don't know what anyone is complaining about, more than a vacation golf course, it is prestine! Wish souvenir T-shirts were cheaper lol. Would play again and again...no hesitation, fyi I am about a 10 handicap and lost about 3 balls but found 6. Only negative was the bad sand in bunkers so I did not play the bunkers.

It was fun

Course was in good shape. Good value for the money that snacks and drinks are included. No ocean views, but carving through the jungle was fun and the course was not too challenging.

Fun to play. Mix of challenging and easy holes.

Excellent layout. Front nine is narrow and back nine is wide open. Beverages and snacks are included. Courses was in great condition. Staff is helpful. Only disappointment was the driving range balls.

Average course at a high price

There is nothing special about the course. The layout is fairly mundane with no memorable holes. The course itself was in pretty decent condition. To me it's a $60 course they are charging $200 and change for. The bunkers hadn't been raked in months. The driving range is in poor shape with balls that look 20 years old that just came out of the bottom of a lake. Hard Rock really needs to throw some money at this to revamp it. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra money for punta espada or corrales. Well worth it.

Fantastic Course ! Highly recommend

The golf course was an excellent condition. The greens were exceptional. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rental clubs are in very good condition and high-quality. The pro shop and amenities are very clean and organized. Nothing bad to say at all. The course does not have any ocean holes but it’s an very atheisticly pleasing course regardless. you won’t miss the ocean views it if you’re there for good golf. The design / layout is superb . It’s a perfect resort style course. Wide generous fairways, but challenging where it counts

Pleasantly surprised with what ended up being a very enjoyable round on many levels

The course was in excellent condition. From fairways, to rough. Even bunker sand was good. Greens were perfect., true , fair, consistent and we’re just receptive enough for challenging but fair approaches. The layout is fantastic. Each hole unique in its own way. What a great resort style course. There are no holes along the ocean but trust me you won’t miss it .the Proshop, driving range and food & beverage staff were fantastic. The Proshop is well stocked. I would suggest adding some higher end brands for the logo shirts . Names like Travis Mathew, etc.
