Few people realize the wealth of activities await visitors to Barbados beyond the sandy beaches and calm seas. Sunbathing, sailing, and deep-sea fishing offer hours of enjoyment for tourists, but this beautiful island in the heart of the Caribbean offers much to do further inland, namely golf.

Golf is a relaxing, popular way to pass the time in Barbados, among residents and visitors. The island is home to The Barbados Golf Club which offers a magnificent par 72 golf course, approved and sanctioned by the PGA European tour. Depending on the season, visitors can reserve a tee time at a nominal fee and enjoying breathtakingly blue skies year-round as they walk and play a challenging course suited for all levels of play.

The popularity of golf in Barbados has grown so much, that it's no surprise the island will host the 2006 World Golf Championships
