Think of the Caribbean and images of sandy beaches with beautiful waves will flow into the minds of any traveller. But that’s not all that the Caribbean has to offer visitors, golf enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that they can bring along their clubs when making the journey.

Many Caribbean vacation spots which offer family accommodation have nine hole courses for those who feel that a quick game would complete their vacation. This is especially ideal for tourists who don’t have time to putt around a 18 hole course. Apart from this, most courses come with their own caddies as well. Having a local caddie will allow golfers to have an opportunity to sample some true island localisms.

Some resorts have the golf courses in close proximity to their property and requires just a quick walk across. But perhaps the best part of playing golf in the Caribbean is that the area offers some amazing views against the backdrop of crystal blue waters. Such beauty can often be distracting when taking a shot at that drive.
It doesn’t matter if tourists are traveling with family or as an individual, because a trip to a Caribbean golf course will definitely take their breath away with the perfectly scenic views. There are those who feel that the Caribbean is the perfect place to spend some time on the green as its weather conditions accommodate visitors who drop by during all seasons.

The Caribbean’s breezy surrounding due to the nearby sea and its spray could serve as a challenge for any seasoned golfer. These courses put a golfer’s skill to the test with tricky waterfront holes and paths that lead along hill sides.

After spending the day taking in the sites around a lush green golf course with the beautiful sea beside it, visitors could check into a luxury Caribbean resort in Canouan Island for some Caribbean pampering. One such resort is the Raffles Canouan Island resort.
