Cana Bay Golf Course by Nicklaus Design
The Nicklaus Design Cana Bay Golf Course is located right outside The Blue Green Club's doorstep and visible from most apartments at the resort.
Both challenging and enjoyable for players of all levels, the Cana Bay Golf Club hosts 18 holes of championship golf designed by Nicklaus Golf. The Par 72 course provides challenging yet accommodating golf for all players, regardless of skill level or experience. The course is 7,253 yards in length from the back tees and twists and turns through beautiful tropical landscapes.
Nicklaus Design has created a golf experience at Cana Bay that is certain to enhance the fast-growing reputation of the Dominican Republic as a world renown golf destination. A hallmark of all Nicklaus Design courses, Cana Bay will be a fun and memorable golf experience that is playable for all and challenging for even the most skilled golfers.
Unique to Cana Bay is a golf course that derives its personality and character from the undulating fairways that carve through the surrounding Dominican jungle and framed by windswept native grasses, Each hole is distinctive and a unique experience and challenge to play and enjoy. This is evident at Hole No. 7, a relatively short par 4 that is reachable for some golfers and with favorable ocean trade winds, certainly tempting for many. There is also Hole No. 10, a dramatic par 3 that plays 197 yards over a sand quarry.
The greens at Cana Bay have been skillfully designed and sculpted with various levels and pin placements, and are certain to put the fun and challenge back into putting. But, with ample surrounding bailout areas, the green complexes are also very forgiving. With every Nicklaus Design golf course, there is a premium on strategy and club selection, and the nearby ocean trade winds can create an added challenge at Cana Bay making club selection critical.
