Course Description
Located at Durants, Christ Church, just off the ABC Highway, the Barbados Golf Club is easily accessible from all parts of the island. After its redesign by, internationally recognized golf architect, Ron Kirby, in 2020 the course was sanctioned by the PGA European Tour, to host a senior PGA tournament and has since hosted numerous prestigious championships. The 6,805-yard, par-72, 18-hole, links-style course, meanders across gently undulating landscape, with wide open fairways and superb greens. The course is made up of two ‘returning nines' that finish into an expansive triple green, dramatically wrapped around a small lake bordered with mature trees. A second lake comes into play around holes 15 and 16, creating an enjoyably challenging Bajan ‘Amen Corner'. With very competitive green fees and rentals, Barbados Golf Club is considered by many to be the best value for money course in Barbados.
