Playing golf

[Kris10C817]

We will be on the Magic next June with stops in Aruba (1:00-10:00), Curaçao (8:00-4:00), and Grand Turk (8:00-4:00). The guys would like to play golf at one of the stops. I've searched each port's specific board, but not had much luck.

 

Anyone have experience playing golf in any of these ports? We know it will be pricey with renting clubs, shoes, etc, but any advice is appreciated!

Google "Golf on ___________"...fill in the blank! That will give your an idea of what is available!

Thanks! I have done that. I'm curious if anyone has personal experience to help decide which port & course they would enjoy.

I can tell you it is incredibly expensive. Someone we sat with in DR a few years ago played in St Thomas.

Old Quarry Golf-Curacao:

 

http://oldquarrygolfcuracao.com/

"Santa Barbara is definitely a little outside of town from the Curaçao cruise port; it’s about a 45 minute drive that’ll cost you about $50 US each way in a taxi. Starting in 2016 a shuttle service from the port to Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort will be offered on certain days so check with the resort before your trip."

Up until the early 90's they used to have golf driving off the fantail. :)

Had a problem finding crew members willing to chase after the ball so had to stop it.:)

I remember those days. :-) They used to have skeet shooting too. Those were the good old days. I also remember when we used to get souvenir ship placemats in the dining rooms.

We found one of those place mats signed by waitstaff a few months ago.:)
