Just a single decision to dream and suddenly you’re on the open fairways of a PGA-level, championship golf course. Look to the west for rolling hills, hidden bunkers, open fairways and pristine greens. Look to the east for an ocean horizon, soothing trade winds, white-sand beaches and a lapping shoreline. The finest of two worlds woven together. This is golf in perfect form. This is golf in the Caribbean.
The Caribbean landscape is laden with the finest golf courses in the world and offers nearly perfect, year-round weather. Experienced caddies, fully stocked pro-shops and lavish clubhouses imitate the luxury of the region and often accompany a round at the links. Renowned designers such as Pete Dye, Robert Trent Jones and Tom Weiskopf have contributed to an impressive collage of courses that are just minutes, and sometimes seconds, from elegant all inclusive resorts. Many of these resorts offer complimentary green fees and add-on packages for the true golf connoisseur. Here are some of the Caribbean’s most famous golf courses and the destinations that host them:
