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.

Long course

Even from the whites it's a long course for me but I only hit my drive about 2:25. The greens were very slow and not well preserved because of ignorant golfers not fixing their bull marks. The sand traps they put something in them that I guess they call sand but they were absolutely terrible and very hard to get out of and I'm usually pretty good out of traps the stuff they had in there was more like semi wet cement

Nice Suprise

Got a great deal on Golf now for $152. Given the other prices for golf in Punta Cana which in my opinion is out of control, for a rates of $150 this was a great course. New golf carts were a nice touch. Free booze and food while playing was also a nice touch. Staff was amazing. Course is in great shape and the layout is topnotch.

Beautiful course with nicely design fairways and greens

Loved the course and played twice during my stay. I would have played solely there if the price was not so high.

Carts are awful

The course is good. Staff friendly.
Carts are terrible. Had to exchange the cart 3 times.
It rained out the day of golf and no cover for the clubs.
For such a big resort you would think they would infest in some newer carts.

Beer cart

Didn't see any beer cart on the course. Finally got a beer when we got to the clubhouse after 9 holes. They need to lower the price of the round to reflect the lack of service and course condition.

Hard Rock Review

Good course layout. Tee boxes, fairways and greens in good condition. The bunkers are terrible. I enjoyed the round. Golf carts could use an update. Surprised the carts did not have GPS.

Repeat Round

Played 1/27/2025, second time on this course. Not busy at our tee time of 12:30. Hit a few range balls to warm up(included in fee), got a new cart this time-no ball/club washer and smaller cooler. The parking brake never worked as it seems most of them don’t. Get an older cart, better equipped. Everything very good, they sprayed the weeds and there are some patchy areas on the fairways but not many! Main complaint on all the courses we played is they are all very nice except for the trash! If you’re going to be golf destination you must pick up the trash!

Really great course

This was our fourth time playing the course on this trip. Really, really enjoyed the course and the amenities- beverages and snacks during the round and great socializing afterwards. The course is in excellent shape —greens are very true and the fairways are in excellent form. Pace of play was really good -4 1/2 hours and we started at 12:30. Too bad we are heading home!

Very poor rental clubs

I rented 8 sets of clubs for my customers, and salesmen, and the 6 right handed sets were very old and worn, the sand wedge was heavily rusted, and the putter handles were all frayed.

The course was very nice, so as long as you don’t need to rent clubs, it is good. If you need to rent, I would recommend the other option nearby courses.
