Featured Bahamas Golf Courses

Reef Course, Grand Bahama Island

The Reef course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., and has been rated as one of the top courses in the Caribbean. The course features deceptively open fairways, rolling greens and an assortment of tall grasses, treacherous bunkers and enormous lakes. A strong short game goes a long way on this breathtaking course. The wide fairways may be a little forgiving but the huge bunkers that protect the greens are not. And the large, level greens may please the eye but their speed will harm your scorecard. Add that with an unpredictable ocean wind and you have yourself a formidable opponent.
