Punta Espada Golf Course Experience
Simply put, your ability to reason will be gone while playing Punta Espada at Cap Cana. You take a seven and you linger over the view, you drop a ball in the sand, you watch a birds dive into the lagoon. Whatever seems to happen, you are always looking elsewhere on this course that begs you to enjoy yourself.I could call this a resort course because it is the perfect example of what a golf vacation should be like. Each hole should command your attention in such a way that you forget that you are playing golf. You forget that you three-putted the last hole or drove the ball no farther than the red tees. It doesn’t matter because the places is so captivating that you just don’t care about anything but the idea of playing golf in an ideal setting.
Punta Espada Golf Course Hole Highlights
Hole 2, Par 5 611 yards: This hole is so long you feel as if you’ll never get there. The elevated tee allows for a great view of the ocean, lagoon, and the swaying palms. Bunkers are dotted along the fairway, and the truth is you should be thinking a 6 is a decent score. If the wind is in your face, just enjoy the scenery and hack away.Hole 17, Par 4 358 yards: It will be very hard to not get distracted as you tee up on 17. The wind is not your friend, and the scenery will have you taking pictures with your phone to show your friends back home. Hit it over the water and you are rewarded with an easy approach; blow it, and you’ll be swimming if you want that ball back.
Hole 18, Par 4 457 yards: This hole will crush your spirit if you think you have what it takes to get you on the green in two. The steady breeze is mean, the terrain is unforgiving, and the entire experience is exactly what you paid for. Incredible finishing hole.
