Villa Espada Launches Direct-Booking Golf-Trip Stays on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course

Three minutes by cart from the first tee at Punta Espada - GolfWeek's No. 1 course in the Caribbean and Mexico for eight consecutive years - Villa Espada books the golf, cooks the meals, and drives the carts, so a foursome and their families never wait on a reservation.

Cap Cana, LA ALTAGRACIA, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Villa Espada, a private luxury rental estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, has launched a direct-booking golf-trip stay experience for groups located three minutes by golf cart from the first tee. Available directly through espadavilla.com, the 15,000-plus-square-foot estate offers groups a private accommodation option with golf-trip coordination incorporated into the stay. Guests can coordinate tee times through the villa and receive a discounted member-guest rate at Punta Espada, while stays include two complimentary six-person golf carts, a private chef, a butler and villa manager, housekeeping, and private transportation. Available as a 6- or 8-bedroom rental, the estate also features two pools, a 16-person hot tub, and a private in-house spa.

Punta Espada is the reason serious golfers come to Cap Cana. The Jack Nicklaus Signature layout was named the number-one course in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years, and it sits at No. 57 on Golf Digest's World's 100 Greatest for 2026-27. The par-72, 7,396-yard course plays along eight ocean holes on the Caribbean Sea, with a signature par-3 played across the water. Villa Espada guests book their tee times through the villa and receive a discounted member-guest rate at Punta Espada - a reduced green fee that saves roughly $200 per golfer, per round against published guest pricing, and applies at Punta Espada only.

The golf doesn't stop at one course. Cap Cana is building a second Jack Nicklaus Signature course, Las Iguanas, whose front nine is open now and whose full 18 holes are expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with an official opening in spring 2027; villa guests arrange access to the currently open holes at regular rates. That gives a group two Nicklaus courses inside the same gated community, with the villa as home base between rounds.

For the group itself, Villa Espada is built to absorb a foursome and the families who come along. The estate is offered as a 6- or 8-bedroom rental at the guest's choice - the six-bedroom configuration sleeps up to 16 and the full eight-bedroom estate up to 22 - with nine full and two half bathrooms. Every stay includes two complimentary six-person golf carts, a private chef at no additional fee, a butler and villa manager, two maids, and private transportation. Food and beverage is billed at cost plus a 15% service charge, with no restaurant markup, so a group dinner after the round stays well below resort dining. Two swimming pools, a 16-person hot tub, and a private in-house spa with two massage beds and a two-person infrared sauna handle the recovery hours.

"A golf group wants to be close to the tee, control its own schedule, and eat well without a reservation," said Rob Bender, owner of Villa Espada. "You roll off the course, park the cart at the villa, and the chef has dinner going. That's the trip."

Villa Espada sits inside the gated Cap Cana community, about 15 to 20 minutes from the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) gate - roughly 25 to 35 minutes door-to-door. Reservations and tee-time coordination are handled directly at espadavilla.com.
