Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay

About
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
Extremely slow play. We quit after a 3 hour first nine holes. Course was OK, but unforgiving if not accurate. Very little rough and then dense vegetation that made finding balls impossible. This is probably what led to slow play ahead of us.
Nice course, but weathered amenities
The course is very nice, fairways good, layout good, Greens very slow. No GPS, carts are in disrepair. Overall I enjoyed the course, but there are far better places to play for Under$200 we paid. I would go back but only on HOT DEAL under$100. They are in desperate need of a make over, new carts, update the range, etc. That said the course layout and conditions were good with the exception of very slow greens.
friendly staff
Staff are very nice in pro shop, range, and bar. Many choices of souvenirs like logo ball, pin flag, chip ball mark, and Hardrock pins. Course are in good shape but no sand in bunkers. Slow greens are expected as resort guess course, also wild open fairways and large greens. Short of shot variation but ok to the fun point. Without ocean hole is not a good thing in beach resorts.
Beautiful course
Course layout was great and it was in very nice shape! Bunkers weren’t in good shape at all. Pace of play was a little slow. Overall, though, very pleased. I would play here again!
Beautiful and overpriced
It was an all inclusive rate . Problem was I don’t drink.. which was probably included in the price .. if they had a non alcoholic rate they probably would sell out.. magnificent course .. friendly staff .. just over priced unless you want to drink
Hard Rock Golf (Punta Cana)
Staff was super friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great time on course. Cart girl kept us good and hydrated. Greens and fairways were very nice. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course. I will definitely be back to play here again.
Ok. But….
Course is great. Friendly staff.
Greens were pretty slow. Slower than the last time. Maybe 6 stimp.
Biggest issue was carts do not have protection at the back to cover your clubs from rain.
I have never seen this before anywhere I’ve played.
It was a drizzle and rainy day that would have been way more enjoyable had my clubs been covered.
Fix that!
Scammers in the pro shop, terrible conditions, construction everywhere
This was an awful experience. As soon as we got to the pro shop and said we paid through golf now, they immediately went to my fiancé and said she needs to buy a shirt with a collar to play. I was irate as I checked their website prior to make sure there was no mention of collared shirts being required for women. I even brought up the pdf from their website that says collars are only required for men and showed it to the woman in the pro shop. She said that has recently changed and wasn’t updated on the website. Any reasonable person would allow her to wear her collarless shirt after being presented with this. They refused. At this point we were stuck with a non refundable reservation and had to buy one of their “collared shirts”. There is about a quarter inch of collar on these. During my argument the pro shop lady also said “well how much did you pay for the round with golf now”. They clearly have pulled this scam before and are probably targeting golf now users.
The mens rental clubs have probably been through 1000 rounds and are complete garbage.
The front nine of the course is absolute trash from tee to green. There is major construction taking place on every hole. Collared shirts for women being required is a complete joke.
Love the course & staff
Overall a great place to golf. The staff is extremely friendly. Some course maintenance required, but minimal. Carts need the covers to protect golf clubs in rainy conditions. The new golf carts are fun to drive but lack some of the necessities. For example there is no place to put a couple golf balls, again no cover for club protection, no club/ball washers and the cooler needs to be attached to the side, not in the tiny basket behind the seat.
Decent course but not well kept
Fairways were not in great condition. Greens were very slow and haven’t been cut in quite some time. Carts and rentals are in rough shape.
Not worth full price
Arrived 30 min b4 tee time and was told they were running 30 min late. Then went to the first tee to see 2 foursomes on the hole and another waiting to tee off. After 3 hours, we quit at the turn. Course was not in shape for the rates they were charging ($ 250) Luckily, I scored a decent rate via a Hot deal. Otherwise, we would have been extremely upset over everything. Staff asked why we were leaving and told them and they just shrugged their shoulders. I felt we wasted $ 170 for the two of us to play. This was the fourth course we played this week and had no issues anywhere else.
Greens
Everything was great except we played towards the end of the day and the greens were incredibly slow
Worth playing
Course was in great shape and I enjoyed playing here. I was paired with 2 other players that were pretty cool and I ended up playing here twice. I would have given this course 5 stars but there wasn’t any real food to eat here. The range balls were trash and the carts were too. Not sure how the Hard Rock isn’t embarrassed by this. To me, any course that’s over $150 bucks should have GPS and you won’t find them here.
Just ok
Greens were sanded about three weeks ago, and they still have a lot of sand on them. Cart service was not good until we complained.We did not even see a cart person until the seventh hole. The clubhouse was under construction and when we got off the course, the bar.What's already closed.
I knew going in!
I knew going in that the course had maintenance going on and I did get a decent deal through Golf Now but still excessive for the maintenance that was going on. The carts are run down a little and the fairways were a little high. I did like the course it can be a five star! The ProShop was closed due to refurbishment so bummed out a little about that. I do feel it would have a better rating from me if I would have paid a little less to balance out but all in all I will definitely recommend the course and I will be back.
