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.

Golf guru

Good course for a resort course easy layout nothing that scares you or makes you think twice about how to manage the hole. Greens are ondulated and a bit rough but they seem to be working on them. Good service free drinks and food so nice. Good value for money spent

Weekend at Hard Rock

It was a good day to play at hard rock, although it is not what I expected. There is a few courses near by half the price and better looking.

Hard Rock Puna Cana

Played with a Hot Deal for half the price so it was worth the money. Course was in decent shape with unlimited range balls included. No towels which can be an issue with humidity. Some of the holes had been aerated but for the most part course was in great shape. Staff was friendly and pace was ok until I ran into two fivesomes that we’re playing extremely slow and didn’t let you play through. Other than that, great course for the value I got it at.

Great day at Hard Rock

Okay....so I have played a lot of resort golf and this course would rate among the top I have played....but what this course has that others do not is a an amazing service culture and an all inclusive experience. Once we checked in we did not need to touch our wallets again (except to tip). All our drinks. All our snacks and sandwiches included. What an awesome concept. Greens were tough to read due to all the subtle slopes and Mr. Nicklaus certainly loves to play some mind games visually with us.

One improvement I would ask for is a bit of

Wind indication as many holes are protected and it is not until the ball is above the trees that you get a real sense of wind direction.

This is a pretty tough golf course. But I would definitely play it again

Fun Time, Well Kept, but Over Priced

My wife and I booked this excursion to play golf at Hard Rock during our honeymoon in Punta Cana. The excursion was very well ran as the pick up and drop off went very smooth which is not guaranteed in foreign countries with excursions such as this. The golf course itself was very nice, well kept, and they had friendly staff tending to our needs.

However, I only gave this golf excursion 4 stars because of 2 complaints:

1) Their pictures advertise that the course is alongside the ocean. However, we played all 18 holes and not one hole was alongside the water. This was a huge bummer for us, as golfing alongside the ocean is a rare event we were hoping to experience.

2) This excursion was a bit overpriced. It was already slightly more expensive than a couple of the other local courses, but then they also charged very high rates ($50) to rent a set of clubs and to purchase balls.

Overall we had a great time at a nice course but we would probably try a different course if we were to go back.

Green is where it gets you

Typical resort course with wide fairways. However, the potato chip green is where it's interesting. Putt to win! Must play.
