The New Caribbean
Standard.

The Course
the DR Has Been Waiting For.

Las Iguanas was planned in the mid-2000s as the crown jewel of Cap Cana's golf portfolio. The 2008 financial crisis stopped it. For fifteen years, the shaped land sat dormant — until Nicklaus Design returned in 2023 to complete what was always destined to be built.

The course opened in November 2025. It was worth every year of waiting. Three holes play directly along the rocky Caribbean shoreline. A protected nature reserve of caves, wetlands, and indigenous vegetation — home to the native iguanas that gave the course its name — weaves through the layout, creating a setting unlike any other golf course in the region.

This is the new standard for golf in the Dominican Republic. The keyword space is wide open. The golfers who know are already booking.

Three Holes.
The Caribbean Sea.

The most anticipated stretch of golf in the Dominican Republic. Holes 12, 13, and 14 at Las Iguanas play directly along the rocky Caribbean coastline — raw coral, ocean wind, and Nicklaus's strategic precision combined into three consecutive holes that will be ranked among the Caribbean's finest.

The 13th is a par-three playing alongside the sea. The green is exposed to Atlantic breezes with no shelter. Club selection changes by the hour. Play it once and you understand why Las Iguanas is already drawing comparisons to the great oceanside layouts of the world.

Cap Cana · Two World-Class Courses

Las Iguanas
& Punta Espada.

Cap Cana is the only resort destination in the Caribbean where you can play two world-ranked golf courses without leaving the property. Punta Espada — the #1 resort course in Latin America for over a decade — is now joined by Las Iguanas, the Jack Nicklaus Signature design that opened in November 2025.

Your villa stay includes member-tier access to both. The butler books whichever course, or both, on whichever days suit your group. One location. Two extraordinary rounds of golf. One private villa.

The Las Iguanas Golf Experience

Brand New.
Keyword Space Open.
Move Fast.

Las Iguanas opened in November 2025. The course is brand new, the press coverage is building, and the golfers who research their trips carefully are the ones who are going to discover it first. Being early matters on a course like this.

The right way to experience Las Iguanas is through the private villa — member rates, butler tee booking, and the logistical clarity that turns a golf trip into what it should be: seven days of arriving at a great course ready to play, with nothing left to arrange.

What Golf Groups
Are Saying

★★★★★

"We booked the trip specifically to be among the first to play Las Iguanas. The course exceeded everything — the ocean holes are as dramatic as anything I've played outside Ireland and Scotland. The villa handled every detail. Butler had Las Iguanas and Punta Espada tee times locked before we left home."

David K. Dallas, TX · Golf Group of 8 · 7 Nights
★★★★★

"Playing both Las Iguanas and Punta Espada in the same week from a private villa with full staff is — objectively — the best golf trip I have ever taken. The new Nicklaus course is extraordinary. Hole 13 over the water is going to be on every Caribbean golf list within two years."

The Harrington Group Boston, MA · Annual Golf Trip · 10 Guests
★★★★★

"Took corporate clients to Cap Cana to play Las Iguanas as the highlight of the trip. The course is brand new and immaculate. Nature reserve holes feel completely removed from the resort. The villa — private chef, full staff, member green fees — made us look very good to clients who travel constantly."
