Corales Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience Corales Golf Course?

You'll find the most ideal conditions from December through May, when the weather is drier and less humid. The ocean breezes are a welcome relief, making your round much more comfortable than during the hotter, wetter summer months.

What truly sets Corales apart from other high-end Caribbean golf courses?

It's the dramatic, natural oceanfront drama that truly distinguishes Corales, especially on those final holes. Tom Fazio masterfully integrated six oceanfront holes, culminating in the infamous "Devil's Elbow" - a three-hole stretch that demands your absolute best.

What's the typical cost to play a round at Corales, and what should I expect for that price?

Expect a premium price tag, often upwards of $400-$500, especially during peak season. This usually includes your green fee, a shared cart, and range balls, but caddies are an additional, highly recommended expense for navigating the course's nuances.

Do I need to be a guest at Puntacana Resort & Club to secure a tee time at Corales?

While resort guests receive priority and often better rates, it is possible for non-guests to play, though tee times can be harder to secure and more expensive. We recommend booking well in advance and checking directly with the course for availability if you're staying elsewhere.

What practical advice do you have for successfully navigating Corales' famous "Devil's Elbow"?

The "Devil's Elbow" - holes 16, 17, and 18 - is where your round will be defined, so bring your A-game and a few extra balls. Pay close attention to the wind on the par-3 17th, and don't be afraid to bail out right on the challenging 18th if you want to avoid the ocean.
