## Resource

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses an exciting development in luxury travel and golf tourism with Villa Espada's new direct-booking golf trip offering. Villa Espada, a premier luxury rental estate located on Fairway 5 of the Punta Espada Golf Course in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, is now offering a unique package for golf groups. This package includes tee-time coordination at Punta Espada, two complimentary six-person golf carts, a private chef, a butler, a villa manager, housekeeping, and private transportation. Guests can book directly through the company's website at Villa Espada and enjoy a discounted member-guest rate at Punta Espada, saving approximately $200 per golfer, per round compared to published guest pricing. Punta Espada is renowned for its Jack Nicklaus Signature layout, which has been named the number-one course in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years. The course is also ranked number 57 on Golf Digest's World's 100 Greatest for 2026-27. In addition to Punta Espada, Cap Cana is developing a second Jack Nicklaus Signature course, Las Iguanas, with its full 18 holes expected to open by spring 2027. Villa Espada offers a luxurious stay with options for six- or eight-bedroom configurations, accommodating up to 22 guests. The estate features two swimming pools, a 16-person hot tub, and a private in-house spa, making it an ideal home base for golf enthusiasts and their families. As Rob Bender, owner of Villa Espada, notes, the estate provides a seamless experience for golf groups, allowing them to enjoy their rounds and return to a chef-prepared dinner without the need for reservations.
