Golf Grand Cayman
To golf Grand Cayman, you’re best to stay in the West End resorts so be sure to book a hotel or resort in the Seven Mile Beach area or rent a car if you’re staying in East End.
The East End does have an indoor ‘virtual’ golfing range, which is good but not quite the same.
Other accommodation options to consider: bed & breakfasts, condos, villas, or timeshares. A couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Like many holiday spots, it’s best to play during the week when the locals are at work
2. If you plan to play a lot of golf, ask your resort about package deals
Golf Grand Cayman — Top Courses
.
Hyatt Britannia Golf Course, at the Hyatt Regency, has the Caribbean’s only Jack Nicklaus-designed course. It’s a 9-hole course, with all the natural challenges of a links course, and uses creative multiple tee configurations to come up to 18 holes. Different configurations are played on different days so call ahead to be clear on whether you’re playing Executive, short or long, or regulation (short or long).
For the Britannia course, Jack Niklaus also thoughtfully provided the option of a ball that travels half the distance of a regular ball, the Cayman Ball, to give players the feel of playing ‘regulation’ on an executive layout. Normally, however, people play with a regular ball.
The Britannia also provides lessons and clinics from pros, junior programs, a pro shop and lounge. Green fees are around US$60 but you have to take a cart, which adds about another US$15-25. Call 345-525-7901 or 345-949-1234 or visit them at Britannia Golf for reservations and tee times.
