It’s one of the best golf destinations in the Caribbean: Punta Cana, home to several of the top courses in the world, including Jack Nicklaus’ Punta Espada and Corales, the latter of which has been home to an annual PGA Tour event since 2018. 

Now, the Corales Puntacana Championship is sticking around, following the announcement of an agreement that will keep the Tour at th course through at least 2027.

It’s one of just two PGA Tour events on Caribbean islands, along with the Puerto Rico Open. 

“We are pleased to renew our relationship with Grupo Puntacana and the Corales Puntacana Championship, the first PGA TOUR event in the Dominican Republic and one that plays a vital role in driving local development,” said John Norris, Senior Vice President of Tournament Business Affairs at the PGA TOUR, in a release. “The PGA TOUR is experiencing incredible momentum thanks to support from partners like Grupo Puntacana, and we are committed to sharing that energy with our passionate fans around the world.”

Corales was designed by Tom Fazio; it first opened in 2010. 

It also has a sister course within the Puntacana Resort, the La Cana Golf Course. 

Of course, if you’re planning on a golf trip to the country, there’s still one resort that towers above the resort: Casa de Campo.
