Travel + Leisure Golf’s 2008 Reader’s Choice Survey
Travel + Leisure Golf readers have recognized Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma as a World’s Best in the 2008 Reader’s Survey. The Resort was voted into the top three Best Golf Courses in the Caribbean. The five year old survey represents the preferences of passionate golf travelers who lead affluent, active lifestyles, and are in search of the very best the game has to offer.
Legendary golfer Greg Norman designed the 7,001-yard oceanside marvel. “I fell in love with this location, the entire site has such great natural beauty and the island atmopshere puts you at ease,” said Norman.
Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma boasts a sublime landscape on a challenging 18-hole course which has five different tee boxes to accommodate every skill level. The fairways wind through a mix of dunes, mangrove perserves and finishes on a rocky peninsula remniscent of Pebble Beach.
The front nine holes pass through crops of sea grapes, silver buttonwoods and native cabbage palms, while the back nine are fringed by the cerulian waters of the Atlantic. Exposed to the ever-changing environmental elements, the course keeps drawing pros and avid golfers because it changes everyday, making it very difficult to master.
Being so close to the ocean holds another benefit as well, the course uses seashore paspalum grass, a strain of grass that thrives on brakish water, which is especially important for conservation and drastically decreases the need for fertilizers and herbicides for maintenance.
For golfers who want to test their ability surrounded by some of the most exquisite waters in the world, The Golf Club at Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma awaits. Golf packages available starting at $275. Facilities include a pro-shop, clinics, driving range, putting green and clubs rental.
A 90-minute flight from Miami, Great Exuma is an unspoiled destination where crystalline waters and white sand beaches frame the Four Seasons island experience. Sweeping tropical vistas, an ambience of tranquility, and unparalleled Four Seasons service make this exclusive destination a Resort experience unmatched in the Bahamas.
