ON COURSE
FOR SUCCESS - THE GREEN MONKEY AT SANDY LANE
New 18-hole Tom Fazio course being developed
The development
of the magnificent "Green Monkey" course at Sandy Lane in
Barbados will make the Sandy Lane Resort the premier golf
destination in the Caribbean, with 45 holes of golf.
Another
masterpiece designed by Tom Fazio, (ranked as one of the leading
golf course architects in the USA), it is set to be one of
his most spectacular and exciting designs yet. It will offer
a whole new challenge to golfers at Sandy Lane, and will prove
a magnificent addition to the resort. The championship-style
course has been carved out of a former quarry with dramatic
elevation changes and spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.
The course is named after the famous Bajan green monkeys common
on the island and even features a bunker with a grass island
carved in the shape of a monkey.
Sandy
Lane's existing two courses already appeal to golfers of all
levels. You can test your skills on the 18-hole "Country Club"
course (also designed by Tom Fazio), which is 7060 yards long
and features lush greens, five lakes and fabulous open
fairways with angled slopes. Alternatively you can enjoy a
more relaxing game on the charming "Old Nine" course,
constructed in 1961. With tree-lined fairways, it still winds
its way magically through the old estate.
The focal
point of golf at Sandy Lane is the magnificent clubhouse,
overlooking the 18th hole of The Country Club Course and The
Green Monkey, with a pro shop, luxurious locker rooms and
restaurant and bar. In addition there is a professionally
trained PGA caddy service and Par View GPS system is
available. The GPS system shows your location to the green and
hazards such as bunkers, and will also point out carts ahead
of you. You can even use the system to order
refreshments.
Other
facilities at Sandy Lane include a Spa, tennis, swimming pool,
children's club and a wide selection of
watersports.
