Located at Durants in the southern parish of Christ Church, just off the ABC Highway, the Barbados Golf Club is easily accessible from most parts of the island. In keeping with its mantra of ‘Golf for All’, the club has earned itself high regard as the hospitable home of golf in Barbados, where locals and visitors alike are made welcome. Having been first opened in the mid-1970s, the course was redesigned in 2000 by Ron Kirby, one of the most respected golf architects in the world, who set out to create a fair, challenging and pleasurable round of golf for players at every level. Just three years later, in a telling nod of approval, the course was sanctioned by the PGA European Tour to host a PGA Seniors Tournament. Since then, Barbados Golf Club has gone on to stage numerous events, including the Caribbean Junior Championships, the Eastern Caribbean Championships and the Barbados Open. The 6,805 yards, par-72, 18-hole, links-style course meanders across a gently undulating landscape with wide open fairways and superb greens. The course is made up of two ‘returning 9s’ 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. And with its open- plan Bar and Restaurant overlooking the 18th green and lake, it is certainly a great place to relax and enjoy after-golf drinks and food.
