Corales (Tom Fazio), La Cana (27 holes, P.B. Dye)
Resort Overview
A resort town on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana is said to be the second-most popular tourist destination in Latin America. Though that’s hard to confirm, there’s no doubt it draws a crowd. A big part of the allure are the 45-holes of first-rate island golf that anchor this expansive resort, 27 of which were designed by P.B. Dye. The other 18 were built by Tom Fazio, whose Corales Course is the first course in the D.R. to host a PGA Tour event. A championship test for the pros, it makes an exhilarating playground for golfers of all levels, with a closing stretch known as the Devil’s Elbow that — true to its name — bends diabolically along the sea.
Highlights
Enjoy 14 ocean-view holes across La Cana’s three nines.
The Westin’s 200 rooms each boast an ocean view.
Bamboo Restaurant’s unique menu blends locally sourced food with Mediterranean influences in a cozy, graceful setting designed by Oscar de la Renta.
