Sandy Lane St. James, BB 24024, Barbados

With lush greens, five lakes and immaculately cut fairways, the Country Club course is a golfer's paradise. Designed by Tom Fazio, this challenging 72 par, 7,060-yard course hosted the 2006 World Golf Championships Barbados World Cup. While all of the holes afford breathtaking views at every turn, the par 5, hole 17 dog-legs to the left. Sensible players will keep the approach to the right center of this narrow sloping green, because a ravine awaits the wayward shot to the left.

Designed by Tom Fazio, the Green Monkey is an 18-hole, exclusive par 72, 7,343-yard golf course. Carved from an old limestone quarry, the exposed rock faces form dramatic contrasts to the lush, rolling greens of the fairways. The 9th hole is the longest par 5, and it shares a green with the 17th hole (the only double green on any Fazio course in the world). The 14th hole is the most challenging of the par 5’s because golfers must tee-off over and along a natural ravine, before it dog-legs right.

Constructed in 1961, the famous Old Nine course meanders through the beautiful Sandy Lane Estate. This 36 par, 3,345 yard course has tree-lined fairways and an intimate yet demanding mix of small greens and tight fairways. Save up your energy for hole 3, which is the longest par 5 on this course. This special Barbados golf course is a favorite with repeat guests to the property.
