Canouan Estate Golf Course
A hidden treasure of the Grenadines
Perched on the small unspoiled island of Canouan, about 40 kilometers south of Saint-Vincent, the Canouan Estate golf course is a true gem still little known to golf enthusiasts. Designed by renowned architect Jim Fazio, this 18-hole course extends over 120ha in the heart of a 485ha private estate, offering a golf experience that is both exclusive and spectacular.

The route in detail
The first nine holes offer an accessible and pleasant course, ideal for getting into your legs, while the last nine reveal a more technical layout, laid out on uneven terrain with marked slopes. The two famous par 5s of the 6th and 9th holes are distinguished by their length and complexity, requiring thought and precision with each shot.
A unique environment
The second half of the course rises to its highest point between holes 10 and 13, from where exceptional panoramas of the surrounding islands are offered, perfect for immortalizing every moment. The descent begins at hole 14, a spectacular par 3 whose green is located 30 meters lower than the tee. Further on, hole 16, also a par 3, descends more than 60 meters towards a green protected by five waterfalls, a vestige of the time when the course belonged to Donald Trump.
Beyond its impressive decorative elements, Canouan Estate is above all a magnificent course, which combines natural beauty and technical challenges. Considered one of the best 18-hole courses in the Caribbean, it perfectly reflects the soul of the island: wild, elegant and unforgettable.
