Playing Golf in Barbados

Barbados is quite a flat island and experiences all-year-round sunshine, which gives the perfect conditions for playing golf in Barbados.

Playing golf in Barbados is a beautiful experience to share with family and friends, with seven available golf courses.

In 1968, the Barbados Golf Association was made up of amateurs to promote and administer playing golf in Barbados.

The primary purpose is to adopt, enforce, and interpret the rules for playing the game as laid down by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, and the United States Golf Association.

You can reach them at +1 (246) 230-1945.
