Re: Barbados golf club
Go to Barbados every year. Usually play Royal Westmoreland, Apes Hill and Barbados Golf club.
Like them in that order.
We usually stay at The Colony Club in St. James parish so Barbados golf club is about an hour away. RW and Apes is a good en minute drive at most.
Barbados golf club greens are always furry and fairways dry. They do have a 3 and 5 day package. Maybe even a 7 day package as well. Not sure.
They layout is decent and the staff friendly. The beers are cheap and the weather great. Always enjoy it.
RW and Apes Hill are actually closer to US$200($175 maybe) and with the exchange rate not sure if I want to play. I'll be down there end of February. Let's see if I'm tempted to play.Driver -Titleist 913 Diamana D+ 72 x5ct S shaft

Re: Barbados golf club
You guys are killing me with this thread. My wife and I went to Barbados for five consecutive years a while back. Ice cold Banks beer, catamaran trips and the flying fish, snorkelling off the west coast, the fish, OMG, the fish .. at Oistens, the fish cakes, the Doubles. The rum shacks. Mac pie!!! And the women. Brazil ain't got nothing on Bajan women. Sadly, never played golf there, so will have to return some day soon.– Greg

Re: Barbados golf club
I miss the smell, sight, and sound of Barbados. Went once a year since 2008 till 2015 except for one year. When I step in Massy Supermarket at Sunset Crest in Holetown, it is like I never left.
Played Barbados GC once, it was passable, especially considering the cost, but don't expect to be wowed.

Oh the banks beer and the fish fry. And nothing beats a 10 dollar rum tour with at least 5 samples of rum to taste from at 10am

Re: Barbados golf club
I just got back from the island a couple of days ago. Didn't even bother bringing the sticks. Golf is too expensive there. I've been a few times and only ever golfed once, playing Rockley (an executive 9 hole course around $50USD) and Barbados Golf Club ($100USD). Rockley is terrible..Barbados Golf Club is nothing to write home about. Haven't played the others as they are big bucks, but in hindsight, should have skipped playing those two and saved up for one round at Royal Westmoreland or Apes Hill.WITB:
Driver: Cleveland Classic 290(Miyazaki)
3W: Callaway XR Pro 3 Deep 14* (Diamana 70 I'Lima)
2H: Adams Pro Gold(Matrix Ozik Altus)
4-PW: Callaway X-Prototype (Aerotech Steelfiber I95)
56: Callaway X-Forged (Dynamic Gold)
60: Callaway X-Forged (Rifle Spinner)

Re: Barbados golf club
Originally posted by spinaltap View Postwe're staying at the hilton, for the price it's just right. Again, it's nothing to be wowed about but I do find the beach there to be one of the better ones associated with any of the hotels/resorts on the island. We've also stayed at OceanTwo which is a bit more of a condo style living on the island. Would have loved to have stayed there again but the prices never dropped like I had expected
If you do some math, it is not that much more than staying at a hotel or resort. In return, you get the freedom, the privacy, and the pampering. You don't have to: worry about your room key, make yourself presentable when you head out of your room, and keeping an eye on your belongings when you are at the pool.

Originally posted by Bellyhungry View PostIf you go there often, I strongly recommend renting a villa close to the beach at the Platinum Coast. They typically come with a cook, a maid, a house keeper and sometimes a butler. They can grocery shop for you and prepare whatever meals you wish to have.

Truth be told my father in law got a discount for us so we'll only be paying about 67 USD with cart and club rentalWITB:
