Las Iguanas Golf Club - Cap Cana

Unrated: Well regarded course not yet visited by the Where2Golf team.

Las Iguanas Golf Club - Cap Cana: In addition to the Punta Espada Golf Club, the masterplan for the Cap Cana resort includes a second Jack Nicklaus design, to be called Las Iguanas. As far as we know, construction of this second course has not yet commenced. CHECK FOR CURRENT STATUS with the club.

Las Iguanas has been designed as a second layout to complement the now established oceanside Punta Espada course. It gives the Cap Cana resort area two Nicklaus Signature layouts. The new layout presents an eclectic test with three oceanside holes (12 thru' 14) hugging the rocky shoreline.

Las Iguanas will challenge your golfing skills in a mainly open-parkland setting, where water hazards are deployed and bunkers crafted in true Nicklaus style. Part of the course skirts a nature preserve marked by indigenous vegetation, wetland settings and caves that shelter iguanas and other native wildlife.

Did you know?

As and when the Las Iguanas golf course is built and opens, it is slated to become Cap Cana's public-access course. Its sister-course, the highly-rated Punta Espada layout, will possibly become a private club, for its members and guests staying at certain Cap Cana hotels.

Cap Cana takes its name from the French "Cap", meaning Cape, and the large number of cana palms (copernicia hospita or Cuban Wax Palms) found in this area.
