9 Amazing Golf Courses in the Caribbean and Bermuda

The Aurora Anguilla, one of the best-known resorts in Anguilla, is a sprawling beachfront property dotted by white, Grecian-like buildings. It’s home to an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course. Set along the water, golfers have stunning views as they tee off. After a round, guests can use the expansive spa facilities—including healing pools, a wet room, and treatment rooms—or dine at one of several on-site restaurants that offer gourmet meals with a focus on fresh ingredients from the resort’s hydroponic farm.

The Eden Roc is one of the most stunning resorts in the Dominican Republic and it’s located in the gated Cap Cana community—which has a gorgeous golf course, marina, and beach club. The beautiful Jack Nicklaus-designed course has consistently been ranked as the number one golf course in the Caribbean and Mexico by Golfweek Magazine.


Tucked between natural grottos and the ocean, the par-72 course includes challenging holes such as over-the-water shots and tricky greens. The photo opps alone make for a worthwhile experience.

No other property on the island has quite the sparkle and shine of the Rosewood, Bermuda. This stunning 200-acre resort features immaculate grounds, a championship golf course, a private beach, a tranquil spa, and spacious rooms with million-dollar views. 


Tucker’s Point is a true golfer’s heaven, with a Roger Rulewich-designed 18-hole championship golf course, driving range, and 10,000-square foot practice putting green. The green is made from TifEagle, a special Bermuda grass hybrid that’s great for a quick putting surface.

The breezy, laid-back Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa is one of Bermuda’s only properties built within the last decade, and modern rooms, gourmet dining, a serene spa, and a spectacular infinity-edge pool prove it has raised the luxury bar.


A nice perk is the free round of golf at the Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Course, which is included in the room rate. The course was designed in 2002 by renowned golf course architect Algie M. Pulley Jr. and enjoys gorgeous views of the water.

Built in the early 1970s, the iconic “Big Pink Lady on the Hill” is easily the most recognizable hotel in Bermuda — and, following a 21st-century renovation, it’s still one of the nicest. On-site at the Fairmont Southampton, guests will find a highly acclaimed 18-hole, par-three Turtle Hill Golf Club.


The course features 18 par three holes, many of which are set against views of the Atlantic Ocean. Multiple bunkers and two water hazards keep things interesting.

Quiet and classy, the colonial-style, 74-room, adults-only (18+) Sandals Royal Plantation snatched a prime patch of beach when it was built in the 1950s. Once the Upton Golf Club—opened in 1951 as a nine-hole number designed by P. K. Saunders—the Sandals Country Club quickly grew to a championship-grade course. 


It’s free to play for guests, though there are fees for the cart ($30 per player) and caddy service ($25 per player). The 18-hole course rises 700 feet above sea level and also has a practice range, putting and chipping greens, a pro shop, a restaurant, and a snack shack.

The Lakes Golf Course incorporates native plants and species throughout to make it feel like a truly local experience.
