A real page turner: Punta Espada, Dominican Republic
We tee off with Golfweek magazine’s top ranked course in the Caribbean and Mexico for 2010. Bearing Jack Nicklaus’s golden signature,
Punta Espada incorporates natural features including lagoons and white beaches at every stage. Eight holes play against the coral coast-
line, where turquoise waves crash on to rocks and spray the greens with a touch of salt. It is also part of the PGA Champions Tour,
boosting the Dominican Republic’s growing golfing reputation and proving the allure of golf within a wedge shot of the Caribbean Sea. Stay at
the Golden Bear Lodge & Spa at Cap Cana for two complimentary rounds at Punta Espada with a minimum three-night stay. The nearby Las
Iguanas course, another Nicklaus project, is part open – the final nine holes open in June.
