St. Kitts and Nevis: Golfing with views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea is not an ordinary experience. In St. Kitts and Nevis, the game unfolds in this remarkable natural setting, quietly establishing itself as one of the Caribbean’s emerging and best golf destinations.
On St. Kitts, the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club brings the Atlantic Ocean into play, with the later holes running alongside the shores. On Nevis, the Robert Trent Jones II course at Four Seasons stretches from Nevis Peak towards the Caribbean Sea. Two islands, two courses, and St. Kitts and Nevis offer two very different ways to experience golf in the Caribbean.
St. Kitts
The Royal St. Kitts Golf Club sits in Frigate Bay, where the island opens towards the sea. The course is an 18-hole, par-71 layout, and by the time golfers reach the closing stretch, the Atlantic is no longer something in the distance. It is right beside them.
The layout has 125 irrigated acres of lush grass and allows golfers to play two full holes on the Caribbean Sea and three complete holes on the Atlantic Ocean.
The 15th hole begins from an elevated tee, with a wide view of the Atlantic and the wind coming in from the water. The 16th and 17th continue alongside the ocean, while the final hole brings a large lake into play beside the green. The scenery is impressive, but the shots still demand attention.
The entire setting is beautiful with wind changing the feel of the holes and the volcanic landscape of St. Kitts and Nevis gives the course a setting that is unique.
Additionally, the golf course is close to Frigate Bay, allowing visitors to spend the rest of the day exploring St. Kitts, from the historic Brimstone Hill Fortress and the slopes of Mount Liamuiga to its magnificent beaches.
Nevis
Across the channel, the game takes a different turn with a golf course named the Robert Trent Jones II course at Four Seasons Resort Nevis. The island is quieter, greener and dominated by the presence of its volcanic peak.
The course follows that landscape, running 6,766 yards from the slopes of Nevis Peak down towards the Caribbean Sea It is an 18-hole, par-71 course winds through lush tropical surroundings, opening to sweeping views of neighbouring St. Kitts along the way.
Along with that, green vervet monkeys, native to the island, are known to appear around the course. Near the second hole, the remains of a historic Sugar Mill sit within the landscape, while the 15th hole offers one of the course’s notable sea views.
It makes the round feel distinctly Nevisian. The course does not stand apart from the island. It moves through it. For those who want something beyond a conventional round, Nevis also offers eco-bio golf, where biodegradable golf balls are designed to become fish food after reaching the ocean floor.
Two islands, one golfing experience
Together, the two courses give St. Kitts and Nevis a distinctive offering, complemented by a natural setting and world-class championship experience. Royal St. Kitts brings sea-view golf into focus, with the Atlantic and Caribbean influencing different parts of the course, while the Four Seasons course on Nevis combines the slopes of Nevis Peak with views across the Caribbean and towards St. Kitts.
This variety gives golfers more than another round on a tropical island. It gives them different playing conditions, different landscapes, different views, and two courses with their own character, all within easy reach of one another. The established tournament calendar further adds to the Federation’s growing golfing profile, bringing competitive play to both islands.
With its combination of championship-level courses, distinctive island landscapes, and a growing golf offering, St. Kitts and Nevis is advancing towards becoming one of the Caribbean’s most compelling golf destinations, where the quality of the game is matched by the character of the setting.
