Punta Blanca Golf Club

Overview: Punta Blanca Golf Club is an 18-hole resort course in Bávaro, on the eastern Dominican coast. The current operator identifies Nick Price as the designer and gives the course a par of 72. Its published course description emphasizes wide, moving fairways, bunkers, lakes and a tropical landscape, with the routing intended to offer challenge without losing playability. The reviewed current material does not provide a reliable total yardage, so that field remains blank rather than borrowing a figure from a different tee set or older listing.

History: Punta Blanca is presented as the first Caribbean golf course designed by Nick Price, but the reviewed current operator pages do not state a verified opening year. The course is kept as the exact Punta Blanca Golf Club entry in Bávaro, not merged with nearby Punta Cana resort courses. Its current fact sheet and yardage-book material consistently identify the 18-hole, par-72 Nick Price routing and the same resort property.

Did You Know? The operator singles out the thirteenth and fifteenth as par threes, placing two of the course's shorter precision tests inside a routing otherwise described through broad fairways, lakes and moving ground. That contrast is a useful way to understand the course: the round alternates between shaping a tee shot through the wider corridors and controlling distance into protected short holes.
