By the time you clear customs and collect bags, your transfer is waiting. Total door-to-villa time from Boston: typically 5–6 hours.

On arrival at the villa: rooms are prepared, the chef has welcome refreshments ready, and the butler has your tee sheet confirmed for every round of the stay at Punta Espada and Las Iguanas Golf Club.

Why Boston Golfers Choose Villa Espada

Boston has an exceptionally strong golf culture — The Country Club in Brookline (one of the founding clubs of the USGA, multiple U.S. Open host), TPC Boston, Myopia Hunt Club, and a dense private club market throughout the greater Boston area. Boston golf groups are typically well-educated, well-traveled, and serious about their golf. The city has a strong Ireland and Scotland travel tradition, which means many Boston golf groups have already done the links trip and are looking for the next experience. Cap Cana — world-ranked course, Caribbean weather, 3.5 hours direct — is a natural evolution.

Punta Espada delivers something that no domestic course can: a Jack Nicklaus Signature design ranked #1 in Latin America and the Caribbean, with nine holes along the Caribbean Sea, played at member rates from a private villa on the 5th fairway. Las Iguanas Golf Club — the new Nicklaus Signature that opened in November 2025 — adds a second world-class course to the Cap Cana roster, with three oceanside holes that are already drawing significant attention from golf writers who made the opening season trip.

The Golf at Cap Cana

Punta Espada Golf Club: Jack Nicklaus Signature design, opened 2006. 18 holes, par 72. Ranked #1 in Latin America and the Caribbean by GolfWeek Magazine for over a decade. Nine holes play along the Caribbean Sea. Host of the PGA Champions Tour Cap Cana Championship. Villa Espada sits directly on Fairway 5 — the butler books your tee times at owner rates before you arrive.

Las Iguanas Golf Club: Jack Nicklaus Signature design, opened November 2025. Three consecutive oceanside holes at 12, 13, and 14 — including a par-three 13th over the Caribbean that is already being cited as one of the great short holes in the Americas. Member access included in the Villa Espada stay at owner-tier rates.

Day trip option: Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo (Pete Dye, 1971, ranked #1 in the Caribbean by Golf Digest) is 90 minutes by private transfer. The butler arranges the trip — most Boston groups add one Teeth of the Dog day on a 5+ night stay.

Boston Groups at Villa Espada

Villa Espada accommodates up to 22 guests across 8 bedrooms — the right size for the typical Boston golf group. Three formats work best:

• Annual golf trip groups (8–16): The most common format. Groups that have been doing the annual trip domestically for years and want to do it properly. Cap Cana is the upgrade that changes the standard permanently.
• Golf bachelor parties (16–22): The villa capacity handles the full party. Private chef for 20+ guests, private pool, world-ranked golf. No better golf bachelor party format exists anywhere in the world.
• Corporate golf retreats (8–16): Total client privacy, dedicated butler and chef, world-ranked course. The format that impresses clients from Boston who have traveled extensively and are difficult to impress.
