 New Providence | Grand Bahama | Abaco | The Out Islands EXCERPT WELCOME BAHAMAS - GRAND BAHAMA - 2005  Golfing around The Bahamas Sun and sea vistas are a golf-lover's dream Originally published WELCOME BAHAMAS - GRAND BAHAMA - 2005 © Etienne Dupuch Jr Publications Ltd Golf and The Bahamas have been sporadic bedmates since near the end of the 18th century. Sometimes the relationship has been dynamic; sometimes restrained. If you count all the existing, planned and potential public, private and resort golf clubs the list stretches to 22, but there are about 12 that you can play today. Grand Bahama has five public or resort courses and two under development. The Out Islands have a few including one mature 18-hole layout, another half completed and a third on the way. New Providence and Paradise Island boast four courses, but one is private and another is available only to members and guests at Atlantis and One&Only Ocean Club. Emerald Bay Nestled among the lush native vegetation of Great Exuma is Four Seasons Golf Club Great Exuma at Emerald Bay, where the fairways of six straight holes lie along the ocean. The 7,001-yard, par-72, 18-hole course was designed by Australian pro Greg Norman. The course winds through a mix of seaside dunes and mangrove preserves, finishing on a rocky peninsula with majestic ocean views. Sea grapes, silver buttonwoods and cabbage palms are some of the trees and bushes that line the fairways. Emerald Bay also features a driving range, pro shop, private lessons and twice-weekly clinics. |
