With luxury world-class resorts such as The One and Only in the Bahamas or Punta Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic, a trip to the Caribbean will prove to be a memorable experience.  If you feel that no vacation is complete without at least one round of golf, get yourself to these Islands. The climate is nearly perfect year-round, and the dramatic, dazzling settings are draws in themselves.

You can take the sting out of missing that “gimme” putt by looking up to see the sea or the mountains, while inhaling the scents from the lush tropical foliage all around you. As an added bonus, you’ll be challenged by often-tricky sea breezes along with that slice you haven’t conquered yet. There are difficult waterfront holes and fairways that wind up and down hills. The terrain is blissfully suited for par-three courses, of which there are many. Golf is widely available throughout the Caribbean, especially on the larger islands.
