Fairway 5
The villa doesn't overlook the course from a distance — it sits inside it, bordered by the fairway on one side and the Caribbean on the other.

Most accommodations marketed as "golf villas" are near a course — a shuttle or a ten-minute drive separates them from the first tee. This property is different in a fundamental way: its boundary runs directly alongside Fairway 5 of Punta Espada.
From the main terrace, you look out over the hole itself — the same grass, the same sightlines, the same ocean backdrop that golfers see when they step up to play. At dawn, before the course opens, the fairway is deserted and yours to look at. After your round, you walk back to the villa the way you'd walk off the 18th green.
Two six-person golf carts are staged at the property throughout your stay. You drive them to the clubhouse, around the Cap Cana resort, and back. There is no waiting for a shuttle, no arranging a car, no gap between the villa and the game.
Jack Nicklaus surveyed the Cap Cana coastline and built a course that plays into and around the sea at every turn. Nine of Punta Espada's eighteen holes have the Caribbean as a constant presence — either as a carry, a lateral hazard, or simply a panoramic backdrop that makes it impossible to forget where you are.
The design rewards careful course management. Aggressive lines off the tee open up approach angles; cautious play to the fat parts of fairways still leaves manageable distances into well-bunkered greens. It is demanding without being punishing — a course that serious golfers want to play more than once.
Punta Espada hosted the PGA Champions Tour's Cap Cana Championship, cementing its status not just as a great resort course but as a genuine tournament venue. Playing the same layout the Tour pros played — from the villa that sits on its fairway — is an experience without a comparable alternative in the Caribbean.
Coffee on the terrace while groundskeepers prepare the fairway outside your door. The ocean light changes the course at every hour.
Your private chef serves breakfast at your preferred time. Nothing rushed — tee time is booked, and the course is a cart ride away.
Load clubs onto one of the two included six-person carts and drive to the first tee at member rate. No shuttle, no waiting.
Walk or cart back after 18 holes. Lunch is waiting, the pool is open, and there is absolutely nothing that needs arranging.
The villa's boundary runs directly alongside the fifth hole of Punta Espada Golf Course. It is not near the course or a shuttle ride away — the fairway is the view from the terrace, and you walk or cart onto the course rather than driving to it.
Yes. The main terrace and several rooms look directly out over Fairway 5 and, beyond it, the Caribbean Sea. At sunrise, before the course opens, the fairway is empty and the view is entirely yours.
Minutes. Two six-person golf carts are staged at the property throughout your stay, so you load your clubs and drive straight to the Punta Espada clubhouse — there is no shuttle to wait for and no separate car to arrange.
Yes. The estate is a self-contained private property with its own pools and walled grounds. You see the fairway and the play, but the villa's living spaces, terraces, and pool areas remain fully private.
The villa sits on Fairway 5, a par 4 and one of Punta Espada's eighteen Jack Nicklaus Signature holes. The course measures about 7,163 yards to a par of 72 and opened in 2006, with nine holes playing along the Caribbean Sea. Full course detail is at espadavilla.com/golf.
