An all-inclusive holiday in Barbados is the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
Lovers of Golf will be in their element with some fantastic courses to choose from on the island. Here is our guide to three of the most beautiful and most challenging golf courses in Barbados.
Rockley Golf Club
The oldest golf club in Barbados, Rockley Golf Club is located on the picturesque south coast and is ideal for golfers of all ages and abilities.
The course features some testing holes and lengthy par threes, with the tricky par five being the most taxing on the course.
The Rockley Golf Club is set in beautiful scenery, and prices start from $78 for non members playing nine holes. Its club house is one of the friendliest on the island and is a great way to finish up a challenging round.
Barbados Golf Club
The Barbados Golf Club is a stunning course set in beautiful grounds in Durants in the south of the Island. The course was approved by the PGA European Tour to host the PGA Seniors Tournament in 2003, and the course has been host to the Barbados Open on numerous occasions.
The course was subject to renovations to its environmentally friendly design by Ron Kirby and the course presents a challenging game for golfers of all levels.
Highlights of the course include two “returning Nines” which includes a triple green bordering one of two lakes, and a chain of coral waste bunkers through four holes making for a challenging but exciting course.
Royal Westmoreland
The Royal Westmoreland 18 hole championship golf course is set on an exclusive Barbados estate and country club within a community of secluded luxury homes and holiday villas offering spectacular ocean views.
The grounds of the Royal Westmoreland is home to US Masters Champion Ian Woosnam who says the par three holes are some of the best he has played worldwide.
Highlights of the course include an old coral stone quarry, ocean views and the tricky 12th par three green which is lined by a ravine.
The course’s colonial style club house provides the focal point with its fantastic location, affording stunning views of the tropical grounds and coastline.
