Carribbean Golf Course Reviews
An experience to remember at Royal St. Kitts Golf Club
Where on earth can you play the two holes on the Atlantic Ocean, then later in the same round tee off along the Caribbean Sea? At Royal St. Kitts Golf Club, you can.

John Harris, who designed the course at Breezes Runaway Bay Resort in Jamaica, apparently was a big fan of the long ball. He installed seven par 5s. They've since shortened the layout but it still has some very long par 4s; some are even longer than the par 5s. (This is Caribbean golf, we don't stick to no rules here, mon.) The bottom line, though, is that it's a joy to play.

Originally built in the early 1970s, SuperClubs Ironshore Golf & Country Club in Montego Bay, Jamaica has an excellent layout over mildly rolling terrain with occasional glimpses of the sea. All it needs is a little more attention to maintenance, and it'd be a superb Caribbean golf course.

From nearly any vantage point at the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club, you see either cloud-shrouded mountains and volcanoes or the deep blue sea.

Riddell's Bay Golf & Country Club is the oldest golf course in Bermuda, built back in 1922, back before they started building them in the hills to give tourists views of the ocean and bays. The result is that the course is more flat, and the views — there are plenty — are more up close and personal.

Formerly known as Castle Harbour and dating back to the 1930s, Bermuda's aging Tucker's Point Club golf course came in for some criticism in recent years for poor design and conditioning. But since a 2002 rehab by Roger Rulewich, golfers are happy as, well, bluebirds with it.

While you may miss out on a 'Wow' view of the ocean, St. Lucia Golf and Country Club makes up for it in many other ways, writes TravelGolf.com National Golf Editor Tim McDonald. Taking advantage of the natural landscape, St. Lucia's gives golfers a wild ride through the islands, replete with wildlife, coconut-shell tee markers and rum truffles at the coffee shop.

The Sandals Regency La Toc course was designed by Richard Colon, a man who never met a tight fairway he didn't like. Tighter than Uncle Harry's hat band, it's a claustrophobic little track that keeps your driver in the bag, or should. And while it many not compare to the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club course, at just $40 for 18 holes, it makes for a pleasant day of island golf.
