Scottsdale, Ariz. (February 28, 2017) – Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico has been named one of the “Top 10 Best Caribbean Golf Courses” by USA Today as part of their 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club placed sixth on the prestigious list of top courses.
USA Today 10Best asked a panel of golf and Caribbean travel experts to nominate their favorite Caribbean golf courses. After the nominees were chosen by the expert panel, the top 10 were voted on during the month of January by USA Today readers in an online poll at 10Best.com.
“We are delighted to have been chosen by the readers of USA Today as one of the 10Best Caribbean golf courses,” said Alberto Rios, director of golf, Bahia Beach Resort & Golf Club. “Visitors to Bahia Beach will discover a paradise for travelers who not only love to golf, but also love to experience the unique nature of Puerto Rico.”
Open since 2008 and managed by Troon Golf, the golf course at Bahia Beach was Robert Trent Jones Jr’s first design project in Puerto Rico. The course routes through lush tropical foliage including coconut palms and flowering flamboyant trees along two miles of Caribbean beachfront. The course ranges from 7,000 yards from the championship tees to 5,253 from the forward tees, with the additional tee placements, including junior tees, in between. A par-three course is also included in the practice area.
