Exploring Cabot St Lucia's Point Hardy Golf Club - The 76th Best Course in The World
Nestled along the picturesque coastline of St Lucia lies a new gem that beckons golf enthusiasts from around the world – Cabot St Lucia's Point Hardy Golf Club. As I recently embarked on a journey to this stunning destination, I was met with an experience that surpassed all expectations.
Upon arrival I was met breathtaking ocean views that continued to greet me at every turn. The course, meticulously designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, offers panoramic vistas of the Caribbean Sea that serve as a backdrop to each swing.
The true essence of Cabot St Lucia lies in its exceptional design and architecture. Crafted by some of the most renowned names in the golfing world, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the course offers a blend of challenge and beauty that is unrivaled. Each hole presents its own set of unique features, with elevation changes, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating greens that demand precision and skill from players of all levels. What truly sets this course apart, however, is the fact that at least nine of its holes could easily be considered the signature hole on other courses. From dramatic cliffside tee shots to picturesque seaside greens, every hole is a masterpiece, ensuring that every round at Cabot St Lucia is a memorable journey through golfing excellence.
But the beauty of Cabot St Lucia extends far beyond its scenic allure. From the moment I stepped onto the course, I was greeted by impeccable service that catered to every need. The staff, attentive and courteous, ensured that my experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
One of the highlights of my visit was the state-of-the-art practice facilities. With an all-grass range, premium range balls, and real greens to hone my skills on, I found myself fully immersed in the game, surrounded by the tranquility of the surroundings.
What truly sets Cabot St Lucia apart, however, is its commitment to providing an unparalleled experience for its guests. The inclusion of snack shacks on the course, where refreshments are complimentary, added an extra touch of luxury to my round. Being able to indulge in a variety of treats without any additional cost was a delightful surprise that enhanced the day and my stomach.
Of course, no discussion of Cabot St Lucia would be complete without mentioning the value it offers. Despite its exclusivity, with only 40 players allowed per day, the green fees, which include the caddy fee, are semi-reasonable at $445. Considering the amenities and services provided, including the complimentary snacks, one can argue it is a solid value proposition. It should be noted that once the clubhouse is completed, the course will become a full-members club, making it much more difficult to access.
Moreover, playing now presents a unique opportunity to experience the course in its purest form before the addition of vacation homes which in my opinion will muddle the landscape. While the clubhouse is still in the works, the temporary facilities more than suffice, offering a selection of high-quality merchandise to commemorate your visit.
During my time at Cabot St Lucia, I couldn't resist indulging in some retail therapy at the temporary pro-shop. With brands like Holderness & Bourne, Dormie, and Seamus on offer, I found myself spoilt for choice. In particular, the custom-stamped Seamus ball marker with my initials served as a cherished memento of my unforgettable experience.
In conclusion, a visit to Cabot St Lucia's Point Hardy Golf Club is not simply a round of golf – it's a journey into luxury and tranquility. From the stunning ocean views to the impeccable service and exceptional amenities, every aspect of the experience is crafted to perfection. So, if you're seeking a golfing adventure unlike any other, look no further than Cabot St Lucia. But remember, with limited play available, be sure to book well in advance to secure your spot on this exclusive course.
