Golf in Barbados: A Hidden Gem for Enthusiasts
Golf in Barbados: A Hidden Gem for Enthusiasts
Every year, a group of friends and I embark on our quest for unforgettable golf trips, lured by the enticing promotions from various golfing hotspots showcased on social media. Each journey is met with anticipation, and over the years, we've built enduring friendships and traditions centered around our shared passion for the game.
In the past, our post-round conversations often revolved around how the greens and fairways stacked up against our local courses. While we still engage in those comparisons, our discussions have evolved significantly—Barbados’s golf scene is on the rise!
When considering a golf destination, Barbados might not be the first place that comes to mind. However, if you're looking for exceptional courses on a stunning Caribbean island that boasts pristine white sandy beaches, diverse accommodations, vibrant dining options, and plenty of activities after your round, Barbados deserves a spot on your radar!
The island features five 18-hole championship courses and two 9-hole courses, designed by esteemed architects like Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones Jr., and Ron Kirby. These courses present challenges for golfers of all skill levels, and with our inviting tropical climate, you can enjoy play year-round.
As avid travelers, we often spend countless hours browsing photos, videos, and reviews of our next golfing destination. However, accommodations can sometimes take a backseat. For those planning a trip, Alleyne Real Estate’s Holiday Reservations department has been curating personalized golf and after-golf experiences for over 20 years. Whether you’re looking for villas located on or near the course for example: (see one of our favourites, "Birdsong" Apes Hill Golf Resort Birdsong) Rental cars, dinner reservations, heritage tours, rum tastings, or deep-sea fishing excursions, they can help tailor every aspect of your golfing getaway in Barbados.
