ST. JAMES, Barbados – Apes Hill Barbados won three categories during the 2026 World Golf Awards at Madinaty Golf Club in Egypt on Nov. 7 – Caribbean’s Best 9-Hole Golf Course and Best Golf Clubhouse, and Barbados’ Best Golf Course.
The World Golf Awards recognized the wealth of experiences available at Apes Hill – from the Ron Kirby-designed 18-hole course where the Legends Tour plays each spring, to the family friendly Little Apes short course, and the property’s chic, casually elegant clubhouse.
“To receive these awards is a source of great pride for our team,” said Sunil Chatrani, Executive Chairman, Apes Hill Barbados. “They dedicate great care for the courses and into looking after our members and guests. These honors affirm their excellent work.”
Set within the resort’s 475-acre estate, Little Apes is a 9-hole, par-3 walking course designed for golfers of all ages and abilities. Its layout allows families and friends to enjoy a round in around an hour, while giving more experienced players the opportunity to test their short game by chasing the challenging pin placements. The course takes inspiration from well-known golf holes around the world, with views across the surrounding landscape towards the Caribbean Sea.
The 18-hole championship course makes full use of Apes Hill’s elevated setting, reaching around 1,000ft above sea level with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Indigenous gullies and tropical vegetation shape the layout, which is complemented by the island-green 19th hole and a Golf Performance Centre offering technology-supported coaching and practice. Both Little Apes and the Championship Course are certified by Audubon International for their enviro and sustainability best practices.
The clubhouse, which overlooks the bonus, island-green 19th hole, features the Pro Shop, Noisy Cricket and 20th Hole restaurants, and is a gathering place for members and guests.
The World Golf Awards come on the heels of Apes Hill’s inclusion in GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World, which also recognized Apes Hill for “Best Lodging” among the Top 100 resorts. These honors celebrate Apes Hill’s continuing investment in creating one of the Caribbean’s leading luxury lifestyle destinations, where championship golf, wellness, nature, sustainability and exceptional hospitality come together within a single community.
