Corales Golf Club Designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2010, Corales is an exclusive and dramatic 18-hole course with six Caribbean oceanside holes set along the natural cliffs, bays, ocean coves and the inland lakes and coralina quarries. Corales Golf Course rates among the world’s finest golf experiences. The exhilarating challenge culminates with golfers playing the Devil’s Elbow, Corales’s last three holes. The Devil’s Elbow features the striking 18th hole, with a dramatic forced carry over the cliff-lined Bay of Corales, an inspired capstone to a memorable and breathtaking golf experience. The Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship was the first Web.com Tour tournament in the Dominican Republic and the first played on any of the islands in the Caribbean. It came about as a result of a three-year agreement executed by officials from the Web.com Tour and Corales Golf Club for 2016 through to 2018. The 2017 tournament will be played from May 1-7, 2017.
La Cana Golf Club La Cana Golf Club is a 27-hole golf course consisting of three nines: Tortuga, Hacienda and Arrecife. The golf course features 14 holes with ocean views looking out over the crystal blue Caribbean Sea. Designed by P.B. Dye, this course has become a favourite of golfers from all over the world. Keeping in line with Puntacana Resort & Club’s efforts to be as environmentally friendly as possible, La Cana Golf Club was the first course in the Caribbean to use paspalum, a salt-tolerant grass seed that can be watered using sea water. Golf Magazine has compared La Cana to Pebble Beach and declared it the “number one course in the Caribbean.” Puntacana Resort & Club is home to the Caribbean’s ultimate beach and golf experience.
