The golf courses of the Bahamas display exactly that principle, a pleasurable activity in a setting designed to highlight the natural beauty of the islands.

The Cable Beach Golf Club has the oldest golf course in all of the Bahamas.

The surrounding scenery is marvelous, and makes a pleasant playing atmosphere. The course is open every day from 7am to 5:30pm. Rates for those who are not club members or Radisson guests are $95 for 18 holes and $70 for a game of 9 holes. Carts are included in the fee.

The South Ocean Gold Course is located on the southern part of New Providence Island in the Bahamas. This 6,707-yard course is known for its beauty, as well as for the way in which the natural features of the land were used in the design of a challenging golf course featuring narrow fairways and tricky water traps. Built in 1969, this course has been a favorite among golfers in the Bahamas for a long time. Rates for those who are not South Ocean Golf and Beach Resort guests or club members are $90 for a game of 18 holes and $50 for a game of 9 holes. Carts will cost another $20. The course opens daily at 7am and closes at 6pm.

Other favored golf courses include the neatly manicured course at the Lucayan Park Golf and Country Club, near Lucaya Beach on Grand Bahama Island. Also on Grand Bahama Island, at the Mall South, is the Emerald Golf Course. This course is designed to be a challenge to even the most skilled golfers, and has many play hazards that require a more sophisticated golfing touch. The Reef Golf Course on New Providence Island features a course that, in addition to its beautiful and visually interesting setting, has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere that enhances concentration.

Many of the resorts and hotels offer golf vacation packages that include a variety of amenities, in addition to lodging, meals, entertainment, and – of course – golfing privileges on beautiful and well cared for courses. Several of the golfing facilities rent golf clubs of good quality for reasonable rates. Your hotel staff will be able to help you in making arrangements to play on the courses in your vacation area.
