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.

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.
