The Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay is situated along the white sand shores of the stunning mangrove-lined Macao Beach, conveniently located near the Punta Cana International Airport. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the golf course is yet another outstanding design in his repertoire. Nicklaus carefully preserved the rich natural surroundings to ensure that the beauty of the Dominican landscape was kept at the forefront. The layout's rolling fairways and greens weave through native flora and fauna, providing golfers with a truly unique round in a tropical setting. There are expansive lakes that come into play on several holes as well as numerous strategically placed bunkers throughout.

Windy weather
Used cart

Excellent course, hire clubs awfull

Great course, very well kept. Fantastic greens.
Staff were good, refreshment cart very good.
Bad points
Hire clubs were terrible. A miss match of very old clubs, I had 2 3 woods for some reason and my sand wedge was all rusty.
Had to swap golf cart after 9 holes as battery light came on.
No gps or music playing as advertised, wasn’t to bothered with this because I had my watch.
Driving range terrible , hardly any balls and most of those were really old.
Tips
Get a deal on golf now, if you are a solo player sometimes it looks like you will be will be with someone else but if you want to play on your own get there early and if not busy will let you go.
Take plenty of balls, price in the shop in stupid. If you need extra keep an eye out for some of the people you meet on the course they will sell you some.

Conclusion.
Great course just let down by some simple things, $50 for beaten up clubs is not on.
It’s also an all inclusive deal so snacks, beer and drinks after are all included in the price.

Nice course

Very friendly staff , pace of play was very good ,
Course conditions were pretty good wouldn't say it's worth it unless you got the hot deal as the back 9 seem to have the same layout every other hole so it was just repeating it self , the front was very good and alot better condtions...

Overpriced and showing signs of wear

Golf cart barely made it through 9 holes before we had to switch it out. Course is just OK. Not worth it unless you get a hot deal. No cart GPS monitors on any carts and no music. Nothing to associate this with hard rock except name on golf carts. Staff is friendly but guy who cleaned clubs left 1 head cover in cart and I had to go looking for it.

Generous off the tee.

Very solid track. Canadian, 5 cap, having not hit the clubs for a few months I appreciated the generosity off the tee. Tough greens, but overall a fair layout. Staff was excellent.

Fun Rockin’ Course!

I really enjoyed our round. While we stayed off resort , we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Check in was smooth and having snacks and refreshments readily accessible was a plus. Green fees also included practice time at the range.

Overall the course was in great shape, although it was very hot! The fairways can be very narrow and definitely bring extra balls as anything in the brush is gone. The exposed rock / coral on many holes was a nice touch. The greens were in great shape and the bunkers were well maintained.

There was some maintenance taking place which sometimes distracted from play, but staff were very accommodating.

The refreshment cart was around regularly with beer, water, sandwiches and spirits.

All in all - a great experience and I would definitely go back!

Expect lots of construction, and grounds to repeatedly try to sell you golf balls

Arriving at the golf course all things seemed great, however that was short lived. Tee'd off at one and was on cloud 9, course conditions were great, then get to 2 and tons of construction.
Hard to focus on golf when there are jack hammers rattling off constantly. I thought no big deal I'll get past this hole and it'll be fine but nope. The whole front 9 was construction. To make matters worse I ran into grounds staff on 3, they had a tow behind leaf blowers going all around the green while I was trying to hit to that green. Once I got up to the green they asked if I wanted to buy any balls, I politely declined, they asked again as I was walking off the green; I declined again. I went to the next hole and was on the tee box when the leaf blower came around the corner. I didn't think much about it until they continued to follow me hole after hole. I asked them to please stop by they kept following me, this kept happening all the way to hole 9, constant leaf blowing while I'm trying to hit and construction noises on top of that.
It was anything but relaxing and I couldn't focus on golf.

To top it off the golf cart was in terrible shape and seemed to be the motor was going out. Anytime I went up a slight hill it would struggle and jerk repeatedly barely making it up the hill.

I've been to 3 other courses while I've been here and this has been the worst. La cana was by far the best and the Lakes Barcelo was just a couple steps below that. Those 2 I would highly recommend.

Fun Course

Good course with wide fairways and minimal rough. If you aren’t on the fairway you are OB. Course played longer than the scorecard with the wind. Greens were in very good shape but rolled a touch slow.

If you are renting clubs, we got are sim irons with mixed woods in poor condition. Make sure to count all the clubs before the 1st tee, one of my partners was missing a 9 iron and if we hadn’t caught it, could have been charged for a ‘missing club’

Hard Rock rules.

We got great rates on Golf Now, short notice. Great checkin service.
Golf carts are all in good shape, water provided. Nice driving range, balls included..convenient chipping and putting green.

The course is laid out very well with great signag and variety. We played in under four hours. Every hole is different and 7200 hundred yards caters to any ability..

We played three times in a week. All our rounds were excellent.
