The photography

Punta Espada, as you’ll see it

Elevated view of a Punta Espada fairway curving past palms toward a green beside a turquoise lagoon, the open Caribbean beyond.
The fairway runs to a green set against the sea, a tidal lagoon and white sand down the whole left side.
A rocky tidal cove edged by sea grape trees, with a Punta Espada green and palms on the point beyond
Nicklaus left the coral shelf raw: sea grapes, a tidal cove, and the green waiting on the far side.
A Punta Espada green beside crashing surf on dark coral rock at golden hour, with fairway and palms behind
Golden hour on the coral coast: the green sits just past the spray line, and the whole shoreline plays as a lateral hazard.
Aerial view of a Punta Espada fairway between white limestone waste areas, running toward the sea cliffs of Cap Cana
From above the routing is simple: limestone, sand, and one green ribbon running at the sea cliffs of Cap Cana.

Play Punta Espada on a week we handle end to end.
