Punta Espada Golf Course, Dominican Republic

Par for the course – Punta Cana Travel Video duration - 2.15minutes Punta Espada Golf Course Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Travel Video Golf - 72 hours You know, Kate, this is the Punta Espada Golf Course, designed and signature by Jack Nicklaus. And the name Punta Espada inspired Jack Nicklaus because he saw the end of the bluff, right there; you can see that from the entire entire course, that is Punta Espada. And Punta Espada means the point of a sword. Last year we were the venue of the PGA Champions tour, the first time that it ever left the United States to be played in a foreign country. We will hold it this year and we will hold it also in 2010. This course was selected last November by Golf Week magazine as the No. 1 golf course in the entire Caribbean and Mexico. You know, I can see why. It is so beautiful, like I love how the green of the course contrasts with the blue of the sea, in the background. Eight of the eighteen holes are right on the water, right on the coast. What a beautiful place to play! And you can see that ocean from all eighteen holes Oh wow Just enjoy the playing.
