The Dominican Republic is a Mecca for golf lovers everywhere. Millions of dollars of investment over the recent years has seen some of the best golf courses in the world situated in the Dominican Republic. Tropical gardens, player designed courses, natural sand bunkers and courses designed around the landscape provide not only beauty but also challenge.

World class Resorts such as Casa de Campo and Punta Cana Paradisus are awaiting your arrival with the friendliest of welcomes. Enjoy some of the most celebrated golf courses in the world. The “Teeth of the Dog”, “Dye Fore” and “Links Course” offer distinct challenges and distinguished charm and beauty.

At Punta Cana, enjoy the world renowned Cocotal Golf Course and Country Club. This beautiful championship course is flawlessly blended into the surrounding Dominican countryside providing interesting and unique challenges on every hole.

Golf in the Caribbean, namely Puerto Rico, is the second- or third-most popular vacation amenity. With the exception of Scotland and Ireland, Americans rarely travel this far with only golf on their minds. Perhaps that's why Puerto Rico hasn't lived up to its potential as a premier golf destination.

You don't need to be a world champ to appreciate the beauty and variety of courses. Most have been designed by golf luminaries such as Robert Trent Jones, his son Rees Jones, Greg Norman, George and Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Arthur Hills, and Puerto Rico's own Chi Chi Rodriguez. The courses are feats of landscape architecture that impress golfers and non-players alike.

Nevis is paradise for nature lovers. Just listen to the monkeys chattering in the trees, the doves cooing in the distance. There is excellent snorkeling just offshore and scuba diving around wrecks and natural reefs. For those more interested in man-made exploration, try your hand at archaeology, or exploring the ruins of old sugar plantations, a lime kiln, or Amerindian sites.

These are the rainforests, reefs, and ruins of Nevis, a fascinating destination for people who enjoy the natural side of the tropics. 

The 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course at the Four Seasons Resort has been ranked the 7th best golf resort by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Except for the key holiday seasons in December and January, the course is open to play for people who are not guests of the Four Seasons.

Too few travelers know that just 90 minutes flying time from South Florida await islands so pristine and unspoiled that you feel as though you’re a half a world away.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines are located in the south Eastern Caribbean about 90 miles west of Barbados - the likely place that you would disembark then continue your flight to St. Vincent. The Grenadines are some 32 islands and cays stretching south from St. Vincent. Only 8 of the Grenadines are populated and 4 of these have small Airports: Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and Union. The remainders are bird sanctuaries and havens for hikers and snorklers. All are volcanic in origin, deeply embayed with inlets where clear aquamarine waters shallow up on fine white sand beaches. The larger islands include Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Palm, Petit St. Vincent, Mayreau and Union.

The Raffles Resort at Canouan Island is a five Star Resort, surrounded by 200 glorious, rolling acres and services to the best of standards of excellence. The resort showcases 156 suites and rooms, hidden coves and beautiful white sand beaches, tennis, water sports, four signature restaurants and bars, a large freshwater swimming pool, Sugar Palms Kids Club and the magnificent Raffles Amrita spa.

Welcome to the Caribbean – a destination of enchanting islands and endless sun. Known for the white sandy beaches, the Caribbean is perfect for romantic getaways or just an escape to paradise.

With luxury world-class resorts such as Sandy Lane in Barbados, the Caribbean will prove to be a memorable experience.

If you feel that no vacation is complete without at least one round of golf, get yourself to the Caribbean. The climate is nearly perfect year-round, and the dramatic, dazzling settings are draws in themselves.

You can take the sting out of missing that "gimme" putt by looking up to see the sea or the mountains, while inhaling the scents from the lush tropical foliage all around you. As an added bonus, you’ll be challenged by often-tricky sea breezes along with that slice you haven’t conquered yet. There are difficult waterfront holes and fairways that wind up and down hills. The terrain is blissfully suited for par-three courses, of which there are many.

Golf is widely available throughout the Caribbean, especially on the larger islands. Casual golfers will find that most courses are open to play by visitors, with instruction and equipment rental offered. But, the budget-conscious traveler should plan well in advance.

Greens fees cover the gamut from reasonable to really expensive, and some of the top-notch courses will be closed to non-guests during the peak winter season. Dedicated golfers should research the golf packages offered by the various resorts. Greens fees, caddy service, and carts may or may not be included in the package, or they may be available at reduced prices.
