The course & its setting

The course combines mature vegetation, planted more than 25 years ago, and contemporary landscaping treatments, offering a subtle balance between tradition and modernity. The game is set in an elegant tropical setting, punctuated by tall trees and open views.
A unique environment
Some characteristics of the course:
- Two lakes come into play on five holes, bringing visual freshness and technical challenges.
- Holes 15 and 16, nicknamed the “Amen Corner” of the course, offer an unforgettable adrenaline rush.
- A series of coral bunkers sculpted on 4 holes completes the unique signature of the course.
International recognition:
- Approved by the PGA European Tour, the Barbados Golf Club welcomed in 2003 a PGA Seniors tournament, proof of its seriousness and quality.
- It has also been the theatre of the Barbados Open on several occasions, reinforcing its benchmark status in the Caribbean.
Thanks to its generous fairways and its slopes gentle, the Barbados Golf Club is tolerant for beginners while offering real strategic challenges for experienced players. He rewards the bold, but always leaves a second chance.
