For the avid golf enthusiast, a normal vacation includes a little golf each day. While there are many exceptional golf resorts offering great packages that include a certain amount of rounds based on the length of stay, the choices become more limited for resorts that offer unlimited golf, either through special promotions or part of their normal pricing structure for all guests.
Our staff is frequently asked about these options, and we thought we would take the time to research some of the more unique offerings available.
The most obvious options for unlimited golf, come via some of the all-inclusive resort destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico. Sandals and Beaches come to mind immediately with multiple unlimited golf offers in destinations like Jamaica, St. Lucia and the Bahamas. While the Sandals resorts are geared to adults only, they do have some resorts under the Beaches brand that provide similar benefits for families. Some of these resorts are immediately adjacent to their courses, while some offer complementary transportation to their nearby courses.
Some of the Sandals and Beaches resorts currently featuring complimentary unlimited green fees include:
Sandals Emerald Bay – Great Exuma, Bahamas
Sandals Regency La Toc – Castries, Saint Lucia
Sandals Halcyon Beach – Castries, Saint Lucia
Sandals Grande St. Lucian – Gos-Islet, Saint Lucia
Sandals Ocho – Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Sandals Royal Plantation – Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Sandals Dunn’s River – Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Beaches Ocho Rios – Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Some other brands offer unlimited golf for one special fee. As an example, Iberostar currently offers unlimited golf for $79.00 USD per person per day in their golf resorts in Mexico and The Dominican Republic. Some of these include:
Iberostar Grand Bavaro – Dominican Republic
Iberostar Grand Paraiso – Riviera Maya, Mexico
