Barbados Golf Club
The Barbados Golf Club, located in the southern parish of Christ Church, has become the soul of golfing in Barbados for local players as well as visitors. The course was sanctioned by the PGA European Tour to host a PGA Seniors Tournament in 2003 and it has also hosted the Barbados Open on several occasions.
The 18-hole golf course at Barbados Golf Club features two “Returning Nines” which finish into an expansive and unique triple green that wraps seamlessly around a lake.
Magnificent trees strategically planted 25 years ago on the original development, and the more recent landscape treatments, blend together to give the course a mix of both mature ambience and contemporary feel.
Two lakes intrude and enhance play on five holes and create a dramatic ‘Amen Corner’ on holes 15 & 16. A series of coral waste bunkers carved through four holes adds to the excitement and personality of the course.
The 6,805 yard (6222 meters) par 72 links style golf course, features gently rolling hills and wide open fairways that are forgiving and offer second chances to make a good score.
The Barbados Golf Club is designed for golfers of all skill levels and is a proud member of the Barbados Golf Association, the governing body for golf on Barbados.
