SANDY LANE

Old Nine Course
The Old Nine, now in the shadow of Sandy Lane's new developments, was the first building block of the astounding golf complex, and its tree-lined fairways typify the estate. Remaining intimate and challenging, the Old Nine is an integral part of the Sandy Lane experience.

Country Club Course
The Country Club at Sandy Lane is far more open, and from the gently sloping fairways, it is almost always possible to gaze out over the Caribbean. The lush green is in contrast to the five lakes which are carved into the layout, which can be stretched to 7,060 yards for a fantastic and challenging proposition.

Green Monkey Course
The Green Monkey is the name on everyone's list in terms of Caribbean golf. Named after the local primates with whom golfers share the Sandy Lane experience, the Green Monkey is an awe-inspiring new championship track devised by the great Tom Fazio.

Carved amazingly into an old quarry, the course is only available to resort guests, and is a formidable challenge from the 7,389 yard Masters tees. The signature hole, and the new hallmark of Fazio's creation, is the sand-surrounded grass island carved into the shape of the legendary Bajan Green Monkey.

If you are a serious golfer, Sandy Lane's Green Monkey belongs in the elite group of the world's most spectacular courses, alongside the likes of Pebble Beach and Kingsbarns.

In keeping with the resort's reputation as a bastion of traditional luxury, the accommodation at Sandy Lane is sublime.
