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.

Good Golf Pass deal

First time playing the course and we really enjoyed it. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition- really liked the greens. Pace of play was great - we were a twosome so we had to wait a little on the tee boxes once we caught up to the foursome in front of us but it was fine. The sandwiches and beverages that were included were great. Would definitely play it again if I can get the good discount price again.

Greens are better

In my last review I complained about the slow greens and the condition because of ignorant golfers that don't repair ball marks. The staff has done a great job at repairing the greens and they run much truer and faster now.

Long

Nice course good layout. But if you can't hit the ball over 200 yd for your t-shot it will be a little long even from the whites. The greens are slow The only unfortunate part is that the golfers there don't bother repairing their ball marks I repair five ball marks on every green.

Greens (FIX YOUR BALL MARKS)

The course was good, greens are slower than most. The golfers need to fix their ball marks on the greens. I played there twice this week and fixed 5 ball marks on each green each day. They have a lot of people working on the golf course. Maybe they should peak at the greens and fix some marks. The Hard Rock should have signs in the club house and at the greens and maybe a video looping at the counter showing the correct procedure.

Beautiful Corse

Beautiful corse, fun layout, great shape. Place of play was fast. Food and drinks were included, but the drink cart only came by once in 18 holes. Price was on the high side but overall a great experience.

Average experience

A really stone Course with much of rocks and stones between. The Marshall was a little bit unfriendly because of that i was carriing my bag to the ball to hit the ball. He said: it's not allowed to walk on the course! Crazy I have to take my clubs to my ball .......

So I was angry about.

Hot weather
Used cart

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.
