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.

way overpriced

seemed like a municipal course. the golf carts were very old and the GPS screens were removed on all of them, so it was hard to know your distances. The rental clubs were very poor; a mix of random 10yr old clubs with different shaft stiffnesses

Great Course

Hard rock course was awesome. Greens and sand traps were in great shape. Pace was quick as guess it was to hot for some to play. Cart person was always around with plenty of food and drinks.

Fun Course

If you can't keep in in the fairway, bring plenty of balls. Wide open fairways that lead to more challenges around the greens. Course is pretty well maintained.

Awesome time

Great deal from GN, cab n green fees about $110...wow this also included all the drinks and sandwiches/snacks...and boy did we eat and drink! Course was in great shape, greens ran true, well watered, great fairways and the scenery was fantastic. Breeze and shades around the course were nice during the 12pm tee time. Don't know what anyone is complaining about, more than a vacation golf course, it is prestine! Wish souvenir T-shirts were cheaper lol. Would play again and again...no hesitation, fyi I am about a 10 handicap and lost about 3 balls but found 6. Only negative was the bad sand in bunkers so I did not play the bunkers.

It was fun

Course was in good shape. Good value for the money that snacks and drinks are included. No ocean views, but carving through the jungle was fun and the course was not too challenging.

Fun to play. Mix of challenging and easy holes.

Excellent layout. Front nine is narrow and back nine is wide open. Beverages and snacks are included. Courses was in great condition. Staff is helpful. Only disappointment was the driving range balls.

Average course at a high price

There is nothing special about the course. The layout is fairly mundane with no memorable holes. The course itself was in pretty decent condition. To me it's a $60 course they are charging $200 and change for. The bunkers hadn't been raked in months. The driving range is in poor shape with balls that look 20 years old that just came out of the bottom of a lake. Hard Rock really needs to throw some money at this to revamp it. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra money for punta espada or corrales. Well worth it.
