Soak up the ocean at Punta Espada Golf Club in the Dominican Republic
Of the 350 courses credited to Nicklaus Design around the world, perhaps only a handful are better than Punta Espada Golf Club in the Dominican Republic. To call the course the "Pebble Beach of the Caribbean" would be an injustice -- to Punta Espada. Unlike at Pebble, playing Punta Espada is an interactive experience with the ocean. One wrong step, and sea spray will rain down on you.

Old Quarry Golf Course is a Pete Dye design in Curacao's Santa Barbara Plantation, a 1,500-acre gated community with two marinas and a new Hyatt Regency. The golf course blends into its desert-like surroundings with various forms of cactus and combines it with the influence of the Caribbean. But the golf course is only part of the fun at this resort community.

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. The West Indies offer a slice of paradise, writes David R. Holland, with few experiences to outrank the golf here among a luxurious setting, complete with a casino, spa and a wide variety of restaurants.

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. Sometimes you see the deep blue sea from on high, sometimes you see it from the down low, but make no mistake, you will see it. And if you're not careful, you'll be in it — or at least your tee shot will.

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.

Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design with oleander-lined fairways, good elevation changes and colorful in that Bermuda way. What's not to like? Add to that the fact it's a public course, and now you have something.

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, Tim McDonald writes. Taking advantage of the natural landscape, the course gives golfers a wild ride through the islands, replete with wildlife, coconut-shell tee markers and rum truffles at the coffee shop.
