Caribbean
Golf: The Caribbean has some of the world's most beautiful and challenging
golf courses, and hosts many major and local tournaments.
Most Caribbean
golf courses have in-season and off-season prices, as well as guest
and non-guest prices (many courses are part of resorts or hotels) and
member and non-member prices. Some of the more famous golf courses require
carts and a mandatory caddy. Most golf courses offer club rentals. Some
of the prices quoted are general due to the fast pace at which they
change. If a price ranges $25, for example from $50-$75, it generally
reflects off-season to in-season and/or guest to non-guest. You should
always call, email, or visit a specific courses web site (if available)
for the latest information.
