Golf in Barbados

Within the crystal blue waters and white sand beaches that surround Barbados lies some truly spectacular golf courses that are an incredible blend of masterful course design with the dramatic natural landscape. The pinnacle of golf on the island is the world famous ‘Green Monkey’ at Sandy Lane which is one of the most exclusive places to play and a definite feature on any golf fanatics bucket list.

The west coast of the Island is the tourist hotspot and is home to a number of luxury hotels, fantastic restaurants and in places a vibrant nightlife that make for the perfect accompaniment to the days golf.

The tropical climate means that the weather is very warm all year round and whilst you can encounter heavy showers in June through till October they very rarely last long enough to put an end to a days golf.

Royal Westmoreland

<p>Ranked firmly inside the world’s top 100 golf courses, Royal Westmoreland is home to some of the best golf holes on the island. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jnr. the course boasts arguably the best set of par 3s in the Caribbean with players having to play over deep ravines and onto greens with testing drop offs.</p> <p>The course provides players with stunning views out towards the Sea and when you combine this with the immaculate condition of the place it is impossible to have a bad round here (regardless of score). The old colonial style clubhouse is the perfect setting for a 19th hole and with a terrace that overlooks the course, there aren’t many better places to enjoy a cold beer.</p> <p><a href="/royal-westmoreland">More info on Royal Westmoreland &gt;&gt;</a></p> <table><thead> <tr> <th>Royal Westmoreland facts</th> <th></th> </tr> </thead><tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Location</strong></td> <td>St James, Barbados</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Length</strong></td> <td>6,870 yards</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Par</strong></td> <td>72</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Designed by</strong></td> <td>Robert Trent Jones Jnr</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Established</strong></td> <td>2000</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Where to stay</strong></td> <td><a href="/royal-westmoreland">Royal Westmoreland</a>, <a href="/colony-club">Colony Club</a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <blockquote> <p><em>"The 5th and 6th are special, while the 12th is the dramatic signature hole, with a small green flanked dangerously by a ravine."</em><br> <strong>David (Long Haul Team: Handicap 2)</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>Call <strong><a href="tel:+448000436644">0800 043 6644</a></strong> to speak to David about playing this course.</p>
