Barbados Golf Club
Designed by Ron Kirby, one of the most respected golf course architects in the world, Barbados Golf Club has become the soul of golfing in Barbados. Golfers of all skills can enjoy the stunning scenic views on this stunning course, which has been host to the Barbados Open on several occasions.
Sandy Lane Golf Course
With three golf courses to choose from—The Old Nine, The Country Club and the world-renowned Green Monkey, a Tom Fazio creation—the luxurious Sandy Lane offers some of the best golf in the world. No matter which course you play, stunning views of Barbados’ platinum beaches and spectacular natural beauty await.
Royal Westmoreland Golf & Country Club
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this superb 18-hole championship course has established itself as one of the Caribbean’s finest, with the front and back nine holes offering contrasting challenges, stunning scenery, a constant view of the sea and a succession of “feature holes.”
Rockley Golf Club
While Rockley Golf Course’s nine-hole layout may seem simple, but with well-placed pins, the course is a true test of ability for all golfers. This is a challenging course that can be very rewarding for the big hitter but cruel on the aggressive shot.
Apes Hill Club
At almost 1000 feet above sea level in the centre of Barbados, Apes Hill Club enjoys a prime location with breathtaking views. With international recognition as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for environmental and wildlife preservation efforts—becoming one of only 2% of all golf courses in the world to earn the title—the course is as much in tune with its natural surroundings as it is a challenge for golfers.
