With beautiful weather year-round, incredible oceanfront views, and championship courses that have been designed and played by some of golfing’s best, the Bahamas offers a golfing getaway like no other. Here are Aristo’s top picks for golf all within a short drive from your Thirty Six luxury condo on Paradise Island or your One Cable Beach luxury condo in Nassau.
Albany Golf Club
Located at the South West end of New Providence, Albany is a luxury community with one of the best courses in the Bahamas. Designed by Ernie Els and home to Tiger Woods among other PGA and LPGA pros, the 7,400 yard desert links style course has played host to the Hero World Challenge. With a mix of windswept dunes and challenging water features, Albany has drawn inspiration from the UK and Australia to provide a difficult but balanced round for golfers of all skill levels.
