Hard Rock at Cana Bay
Hard Rock at Cana Bay is tucked in behind the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Dominican Republic's northeast-facing Atlantic coast. Laid out by Nicklaus Design, the championship golf course exudes a player-friendly character, while also laying down plenty of challenges for the better player.
This relatively recent arrival in the popular Punta Cana golf destination is characterised by good-width fairways, plenty of bold Nicklaus trademark bunkering, and (thankfully some might say) relatively few water hazards. This well-rated course benefits from generally excellent quality presentation and maintenance.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal-spike facility.

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
