The Dominican Republic is where serious Caribbean golf meets the all inclusive resort, which makes it the natural choice for groups who want bucket list courses without bucket list complexity. Punta Cana and neighbouring Cap Cana hold the densest concentration of all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, and the marquee resort courses, La Cana, Corales and Punta Espada, sit right alongside them. An hour west at Casa de Campo lies Teeth of the Dog, the most famous course in the region. It suits buddies groups, couples and mixed parties where not everyone golfs, because the beach, the pool and the dining are all sorted on one plan.
The practical thing to understand is that the all inclusive plan covers your resort, food and drinks, while the championship golf is almost always booked as a separate add on rather than included. That is the perfect arrangement for a golf group: a relaxed, sociable base with everything paid for, plus a tee sheet of world ranked courses. We build the resort and the golf into one trip so it feels seamless.
A Tom Fazio design and the only course in the country to host the PGA Tour, at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Six greens perch on the rocky Atlantic shore, and the closing stretch, the Devil's Elbow, plays along cliffs and bays for one of the great finishes in the Caribbean.
A Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Cap Cana, with eight holes playing alongside or over the Caribbean Sea and turquoise water framing nearly every shot. Long a top ranked Caribbean course and a former Champions Tour host, it is the most photogenic round in the region.
The original Punta Cana resort course, a P.B. Dye design across three nines with fourteen holes offering ocean views and four running right along the sea. It was the first course in the Caribbean to use seawater tolerant paspalum, and it is the most convenient golf for the area's all inclusive resorts.
Pete Dye's masterpiece at Casa de Campo near La Romana, the course that put Caribbean golf on the map and still the gold standard. Seven holes run hard along the sea, hand built by Dye and his crew from coral rock. An hour west of Punta Cana and worth every minute of the drive.
A Robert Trent Jones Sr. original on the dramatic north coast, since restored by his son Rees Jones. Ten holes run along oceanfront cliffs above the Atlantic, more than almost any course in the hemisphere. A worthy add for groups wanting to pair the east coast resorts with the wilder north.
Designers, years and tour history verified June 2026. Green fees are indicative third party figures for the 2026 season and change with demand and resort status. Always confirm directly before booking.
Fly into Punta Cana, the easiest gateway in the Caribbean, and check into your all inclusive resort. Settle in with the beach and a first dinner on the plan.
Open on the most convenient resort course, minutes from the all inclusive strip, with ocean holes to ease you in. Afternoon by the pool or on the sand.
Short transfer to the Nicklaus course for the most scenic round of the week. Lunch at the clubhouse, then back to the resort for the evening.
A non golf day for the beach, a catamaran or a spa, keeping legs fresh for the two marquee rounds to come.
The PGA Tour course and its cliffside Devil's Elbow finish. A celebration dinner back at the resort afterwards.
The bucket list round. Drive about an hour west to Casa de Campo for Pete Dye's masterpiece, with a long lunch on the terrace before the return.
A last morning on the sand before an evening flight, or extend with a night at Casa de Campo to add Dye Fore or a north coast trip to Playa Grande.
Punta Cana and Cap Cana courses sit within thirty minutes of the all inclusive resorts; Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo is around an hour west, and Playa Grande on the north coast is a longer day trip or a separate base.

Indicative third party operator ranges for the 2026 season, including flights, shown to set expectations only. All inclusive plans typically cover the resort, food and drink, while championship golf is booked separately. We are a guide, not an operator, and never quote our own pricing. Always confirm directly before booking.
The golf season runs December to April, the dry, cooler months with the best conditioning and the lowest humidity. Summer and autumn are hotter and wetter, with the Atlantic hurricane season from June to November, so most groups travel in winter and early spring. Book the peak winter weeks and the marquee tee times at Corales, Punta Espada and Teeth of the Dog two to three months ahead, and earlier still for Christmas, New Year and Easter.
Tell us the resort style and the courses you want, and roughly when. One concierge costs the whole trip to the head and replies within one working day, with no obligation.
Yes. Punta Cana and Cap Cana are the all inclusive heartland of the Caribbean, and La Cana, Corales and Punta Espada sit alongside it. Most groups stay all inclusive for food and drink, then book the golf as a separate add on, since the marquee courses are pay to play.
