Jack Nicklaus Signature Design
🆕 Opened Nov 2025
Las Iguanas was never supposed to take this long. When Cap Cana first laid out its grand vision for the Dominican Republic's northeast coast, Las Iguanas was part of the original plan — a second Nicklaus layout alongside the already-celebrated Punta Espada. The land was shaped, the routing was set, when the 2008 global financial crisis stopped everything.
For fifteen years, the shaped fairways remained visible from the air — a ghost layout, waiting. In 2023, Nicklaus Design returned. Troy Vincent, a senior design associate who had also worked on Punta Espada, completed what was started. In November 2025, Las Iguanas Golf Club finally opened — and the Dominican Republic's golf landscape changed.
Three holes play directly along the rocky Caribbean shoreline. A protected nature reserve of caves, wetlands and indigenous vegetation — home to native iguanas that gave the course its name — weaves through the layout. This is the new standard for golf in the Dominican Republic.
Dominican Golf Concierge secures your tee time at Las Iguanas, arranges private transportation from anywhere in the DR, and handles every logistical detail so you arrive at the first tee ready to play.
The most anticipated three consecutive holes in Dominican golf. The back nine turns toward the Caribbean and delivers something unforgettable — raw coastline, Atlantic wind and Nicklaus precision all at once.
"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."
"Playing both Las Iguanas and Punta Espada in the same week 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."
"Took corporate clients to Cap Cana to play Las Iguanas as the highlight of the trip. The course is brand new and immaculate. The nature reserve holes feel completely removed from the resort — something special."
18 holes at Las Iguanas with caddie coordination + private round-trip transport from your hotel. Experience the Nicklaus design, the iguana reserve and the three legendary ocean holes. Full concierge support included.
Two Nicklaus masterpieces at Cap Cana back-to-back. Las Iguanas' dramatic ocean stretch followed by Punta Espada's eight oceanside holes — the #1 resort course in Latin America. Private transport and caddies throughout.
Play Las Iguanas under the lights — one of the Caribbean's newest night golf experiences on a brand-new Nicklaus course. An extraordinary evening round in a setting unlike anything else in the DR.
