The Course
This Melia golf course designed by esteemed Spanish architect Jose
Ganchedo is a jewel in the center of Punta Cana. This is an inland
golf course that uses strategically placed bunkers and trees to
create a truly challenging layout.
The Cocotal club winds its way through a former coconut plantation
and seems very harmonious with the natural landscape. The layout
rolls through the valley’s mounds and rolling countryside.
There is not a lot of water on this course, but it’s located
well so that it forces players to make decisions and keeps them
thinking throughout their round
.
Fairways at Cocotal Golf
Course
The fairways are wide and generous, allowing golfers to stand confidently
on the tee and swing for the fences. An errant shot may find one
of “Pepe’s” bunkers but is unlikely to result
in a lost ball. There is a nice strip of primary rough that is very
easy to hit out of making it possible to still stick it tight even
if you miss the fairway.
Outside the primary cut of rough you will find strategically placed
trees and sand waste-bunkers that will severely hinder a player’s
ability to reach the green in regulation.
The Greens at Cocotal Golf
The greens are definitely the standout component of
golf Cocotal. Most of the greens are elevated and very quick making
approach shots very tricky. Running shots onto the green is difficult
and approaches need to be kept high to avoid skirting off the back.
Golfers who can spin the ball are definitely rewarded on these fast
and smooth-rolling greens.

Facilities
There is a clubhouse and a restaurant at Cocotal.
A beverage cart makes its way around the course, but generally not
quickly enough to keep players replenished with bottled water. Bringing
several bottles of water in your golf bag is a good idea.
