Bahamas Golf Resorts – Excitement for All Golfers

While the Bahamas is known for being one of the most exotic places in the world to visit there are many different exciting Bahamas golf resorts throughout the country. These are among the most popular places for Bahamas recreation. There are all sorts of great courses in the area with many different unique features.

One of the most notable things about all of these places for Bahamas recreation is that golf lessons are available at many of these great golf resorts. It is best to reserve an appointment for lessons at least a day before coming to the resort. After lessons are taken the many different resorts for golf can be enjoyed.

Also, clubs should be brought, but club rental is available at these places. Rental will cost a good amount of money though, so it is best to bring one's own clubs.

The first of the great Bahamas golf resorts to check out is the Crowne Plaza Golf Resort and Casino. Located at the Royal Oasis in the Grand Bahama Island, this resort features the famous Emerald and Ruby courses. Both of them are par-72 courses and are known for their rolling terrains and especially tricky sand traps.

It's no wonder that this course has been endorsed by many of the world's top golfers, including Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus.

The Radisson Cable Beach Golf Course, which is located at Cable Beach, is the oldest of the golf resorts in the Bahamas. This place for Bahamas recreation was popular with the British expatriates during the 1930s. This par-72 course features over seven thousand yards of impressive scenery, including various different water hazards and miniature ponds.

The Reef Course, which is at the Grand Bahama Island's Grand Lucaya, is considered to be a course that is like a simulation of some of the famous Scottish courses overseas. This features over six thousand yards of link-style greens.
