What the course is like
Nicklaus built the course through native vegetation, with undulating greens, strategic bunkering and bailout areas around the greens. Expect trade winds off the Atlantic, which change how the course plays through the day. Morning tee times are usually calmer and cooler.

Why stay in Cana Bay if you’re here for golf
Most Punta Cana accommodation is in Bávaro, Cap Cana or Uvero Alto, each a drive from this course. Staying in Cana Bay itself keeps you close, which makes early tee times easier and gives you the option of playing more than once.
Our apartment is in Cana Rock Universe, inside Cana Bay. After a round you can come back, make lunch in your own kitchen and step from the terrace into the pool. See the apartment.
