Green Monkey Golf Course | Levera Golf Course | Hilton Tobago | Country Club

Golf It

by Josh Sens

Is there great golfing in the Islands? You’d better believe it, especially with the addition of these three tropical greens.

TOBAGO: The Plantations Golf and Country Club, at the Hilton Tobago, is a 7,000-yard championship course beautiful enough for the Caribbean (it’s lined with palm trees, mangroves, even a sugar mill) and challenging enough for the pros (it’s slated to host a Senior PGA Tour event). (868) 631-0875, www.hilton.com

BARBADOS: Golf aficionados will go bananas over the Green Monkey Golf Course, the latest waterfront design by famed architect Tom Fazio, who also built Sandy Lane Resort’s other great track: the Country Club Course. (246) 444-2000, www.sandylane.com

GRENADA: The Levera Golf Course, a championship layout in a sultry tropical setting, is Grenada’s first 18-hole golf course. Among the challenges on this treasure: a 700-yard par-5. (473) 440-6209
