For golf lovers, a trip overseas is not only a much needed break, but also presents a welcome opportunity to sample some of world’s best golf courses along the way.
A visit to the TCI presents just that opportunity as Providenciales is richly blessed with a beautiful, award-winning 18-hole par-72 championship course within easy reach.
Open for play since 1992, the Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club (previously known as Provo Golf Club) is located in Provo’s Leeward, moments from Grace Bay and designed by renowned US course designer Karl Litten.
With many US courses to his name, notable overseas and resort courses include the Emirates Golf Club, Dubai, Ancient Sands Golf Course, Red Sea, Egypt and the Jolly Harbour Golf Club, Antigua.
Twice voted #1 in the Caribbean by USA Today's 10 Best Reader’s Choice, the Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club offers superb playing conditions with industry standard salt tolerant Platinum Paspalum turf.
Loved for its challenging golf, unique island topography and features, such as limestone outcrops, natural marshes and lakes, the course is also home to rich wildlife with its fair share of local wildlife and birds including herons, brown pelicans and Caribbean flamingos amongst the occasional eagle and albatross!
Colourful native planting is in abundance with towering palms offering shade, and some might say adding to the level of difficulty on the already challenging fairways! With a quick pace of play (expect around 4 hours), there’s still plenty of time to soak up the scenery plus excellent dining options for all round refreshment pre or post play.
#19 Bar & Restaurant opens from 7.30am for a healthy breakfast, smoothie and coffee whilst the stylish clubhouse with its feature marble central star motif, is also a great place to meet over afternoon cocktails or sundowners.
A club designed for all the family with Men’s and Ladies’ divisions, tennis and pickleball can also be played on site from 6.30am and is floodlit for evening games. And for golfing Juniors, the summer months offer kids’ camps, plus group and individual training sessions during school holidays.
Open daily for members and non-members, with a variety of passes to choose from along with Titleist clubs available to hire so you can leave the hassle at home. Golf tuition, including clinics and private sessions are also available all year round.
Overall, the Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club is the dream location for a day’s play in stunning island surroundings with enough facilities and dining to keep even the non-golfers happy.
Former European & PGA Tour pro golfer David Feherty is the Royal Turks and Caicos Club’s official Ambassador. A well-loved figure within the golfing world, David worked as a writer/broadcaster for NBC Sports and the Golf Channel for many years and now acts as the lead analyst and broadcaster for LIV Golf.
Other sportsmen and celebrities known to have frequented the island course include basketball legend Michael Jordan, US Open Champion, Gary Woodland, Musician Drake and Hollywood icon, Richard Gere.
The warm welcome – something for everyone with Men’s, Ladies and Juniors all catered for along with a well-stocked pro shop.
The opportunity to mingle with the colourful local wildlife whilst out and about on the fairways.
A varied selection of refreshment options from breakfast, brunch and pizza to takeout, cappuccinos and cocktails.
Great seasonal promotions including unlimited golf after 3pm with a special 9-hole offer so you can play as dusk falls with the stunning sunset as an added bonus.
Sporting pedigree - in 1998 the course played host to the Caribbean Open with national teams and players from across the Caribbean competing for the top spot.
For avid golfers, many of the Island House Villas are on the doorstep, including Grace Bay favourites Salacia, Sole e Mare and The Point. Plan that golfing holiday you’ve always dreamed of with Island House.
