Punta Espada

Punta Espada is a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course at Cap Cana, repeatedly ranked the best in the Caribbean and Mexico, where eight of its eighteen holes play directly along, over and around turquoise oceanside coves. Carved into low cliffs above the sea, it offers some of the most dramatic golf scenery in the region — fairways edged by spray, rocky inlets and open Caribbean horizon. It's a bucket-list round and a striking photo backdrop whether or not you keep score. Our photographers capture the seaside holes where ocean spray meets emerald turf, at their most luminous in the low, golden light of early morning and late afternoon, and playable year-round.
