Between the greens fees, club membership, cart rental and the clubs themselves, golfing can be an expensive sport. So it’s no surprise that when golfers go to the Caribbean they’re not just looking for challenging courses – duffers want deals, too! So if you’re searching for a resort when you can “play through” without paying through the nose, here are five Caribbean resorts that offer unlimited golf (and amenities to satisfy non-players, too.)
Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort A stay at this Punta Cana retreat includes all-you-can-golf green fees at the José Pepe Gancedo-designed Cocotal Golf Course & Country Club, as well as complimentary transportation to and from the resort.
Beaches Ocho Rios In Jamaica, guests score unlimited rounds of play, green fees and round-trip transportation between this beachfront resort and Sandals Golf & Country Club, tucked into undulating hillside 30 minutes’ drive away and 700 feet above sea level.
Casa De Campo The Ultimate Golf Package at this sprawling Dominican Republic resort includes green fees for a daily round on three of the region’s best courses (Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore or the Links), plus a shared cart and balls.
Jewel Runaway Bay Beach & Golf Resort This Jamaican beachfront all-inclusive covers green fees at nearby Runaway Bay Golf Club, which has a classic par-72, 18-hole course that’s been challenging swingers for more than 50 years.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian With all the hubbub about the resort’s new overwater suites you’d be forgiven for overlooking the fact that complimentary green fees allow never-ending play on the nine-hole, 3,141-yard golf course at the Grande’s sister resort, Sandals La Toc Golf Resort & Spa.
