The first golf club to carry the Hard Rock name — a Nicklaus Design layout at Cana Bay.
Cana Bay was the first course anywhere to play under the Hard Rock flag, and it wears the brand lightly: every hole is named for a rock song, the flyovers on the cart GPS play along, and underneath the theming is a serious 7,253-yard Nicklaus Design test. Rolling fairways move through native vegetation to Platinum Paspalum greens, with a 76.1 rating from the tips that outruns most resort golf in the region. It sits beside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, a short run up the coast from Bávaro.
