Golf in the Bahamas
With our winters a mere 70° and the grass always being green, no wonder the
Bahamas is the best place four golf--offering several championship golf courses,
365 days throughout the year.
Grand Bahama Island
Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort
Spectacular golf vacations in the Bahamas await you at The Westin and Sheraton
at Our Lucaya (pictured above).
The Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya boasts two championship courses: the Reef Course, designed by
Robert Trent Jones, Jr., and the Lucayan Course designed by Dick Wilson.
The Reef Course
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the Reef Course is rated one
of the Top 3 courses in the Caribbean. The course features
deceptively open fairways, rolling greens, and an assortment of tall
grasses, treacherous bunkers and enormous lakes. A strong short game
goes a long way on this breathtaking course. The wide fairways may
be a little forgiving but the huge bunkers that protect the greens
are not. And the large, level greens may please the eye but their
speed will harm your scorecard. Add that with an unpredictable ocean
wind and you have yourself a formidable opponent. To top things off
Jones brought water into play on 13 of 18 holes. You didn't really
expect to avoid water while playing on an island did you?
The Lucayan Course
Designed by Dick Wilson features intense foliage and fast
greens with sharp doglegs and guarded cavernous bunkers. This
course, created in 1962, is an Audubon-affiliated member of the USGA
and The Metropolitan New York Golf Association. The Lucayan Course
pits your golf skills against Dick Wilson's mind and the natural
wonders of Grand Bahama Island. Testing precision rather than
distance, with doglegs, elevated greens and thick stands of tropical
foliage. The tall trees give shade from the sun and other players on
the course. There's no tight schedule and no need to rush your round
so you can take it easy. With wide target areas off the tee and
well-protected elevated greens, it's a great place to enjoy the
great game.
