Hard Rock Golf Club at Cana Bay
About
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.

Excellent Day
The staff could not have been nicer. The course was in great condition and I played in just over 3 hours as a single. Being all inclusive was a great surprise when I showed up. I was only asked to buy balls once and I have empathy for the people that are trying to make a few bucks. Instead of buying golf balls I gave them some new balls that I brought hoping they can sell them to help feed their family's. They were very polite and appreciated this. I will return again as soon as possible. Went to the Hard Rock Casino after and left there with my shirt and a few extra dollars. Tip, being a Nicklaus course if you miss a shot always miss to the right as that's how Jack designs all his courses.
Incredibly Poor for the $$$
- layout is poor
- range balls are old shag balls pulled out of the woods
- 5 times in the round grounds crew approached us to try and sell balls, one of my drives was picked up by a worker, once he realized I was looking for it, he told me it hit a tree and dropped it into the fairway. He was wearing a “security” shirt - had a bucket and a chair sitting inadvertently in the trees.
- the amount of money you pay to play here is insane. $150-300 a round - it’s worth no more than $75-120.
- I’m shocked there are not lower reviews
Great fun course - would play here again!
Practice facilities could be better, but overall a great experience and fun course!
Did not play
I am hoping that I can get my money back. When I booked the course, I thought I was booking the course in Playa De Carmen in Cancun, Mexico. When we got to the course, they said I booked in Puerto Rico.
I clicked on the icon from a map showing Cancun, Mexico and did not know it brought up the course in Puerto Rico. I ended up paying another $140.00 x 2 for the course in Mexico.
I hope you can help me with this issue.
Cana Bay Golf
Great course layout. If you can get this course for under $100 it’s a great value. Drinks and food are included during and after your round. Great staff on and off the course.
Overall, well worth it (if you don’t pay retail)
Stayed at Hard Rock. Was stoked that there was a Nicklaus course on property.
The course layout is very good. It’s well-maintained. Greens were in good shape. I played 5 times in 7 days, so obviously I enjoyed it.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t include the downsides. The practice facility golf balls are literally the worst collection of shag balls I’ve ever seen. You can’t charge $225 for a round and have a range that terrible and balls that pathetic. The chipping and practice green are fine but the range itself is ghastly.
Also, for the value, you gotta book the night before or the day of. I played for about $90 each time which was what it should cost. You’ll pay a premium if you want to play early morning, and I’m sorry, that’s just not a $200+ experience.
Overall? My experience was very positive. If I came back to Hard Rock I’d play it every day like I did. Just be aware of the shortcomings and plan accordingly.
Hard rock
Better signage where to exit fairway
Driving range needs yardage signs and better balls
Rental clubs all need new grips
Great course
Would recommend this course, great conditions everywhere from tee to green.
Excellent Course
Great layout, terrific staff and excellent value for the money.
Excellent course, hire clubs awfull
Great course, very well kept. Fantastic greens.
Staff were good, refreshment cart very good.
Bad points
Hire clubs were terrible. A miss match of very old clubs, I had 2 3 woods for some reason and my sand wedge was all rusty.
Had to swap golf cart after 9 holes as battery light came on.
No gps or music playing as advertised, wasn’t to bothered with this because I had my watch.
Driving range terrible , hardly any balls and most of those were really old.
Tips
Get a deal on golf now, if you are a solo player sometimes it looks like you will be will be with someone else but if you want to play on your own get there early and if not busy will let you go.
Take plenty of balls, price in the shop in stupid. If you need extra keep an eye out for some of the people you meet on the course they will sell you some.
Conclusion.
Great course just let down by some simple things, $50 for beaten up clubs is not on.
It’s also an all inclusive deal so snacks, beer and drinks after are all included in the price.
Nice course
Very friendly staff , pace of play was very good ,
Course conditions were pretty good wouldn't say it's worth it unless you got the hot deal as the back 9 seem to have the same layout every other hole so it was just repeating it self , the front was very good and alot better condtions...
Overpriced and showing signs of wear
Golf cart barely made it through 9 holes before we had to switch it out. Course is just OK. Not worth it unless you get a hot deal. No cart GPS monitors on any carts and no music. Nothing to associate this with hard rock except name on golf carts. Staff is friendly but guy who cleaned clubs left 1 head cover in cart and I had to go looking for it.
