Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exumas, Bahamas features a Greg Norman-designed 7,200-yard, par 72 championship golf course that rivals any oceanside course in the world. Norman, a native Autralian and avid diver and boater himself, immediately saw the potential of the site and created not one, but six signature holes hugging the perimeter of Emerald Bay’s scenic peninsula.
With fairways lining the ocean and prevailing southeastern tradewinds, the golf course at Sandals Emerald Bay provides a challenging experience for novice and professional golfers alike. Its first 10 holes wind through a mix of seaside dunes and mangrove preserves, while holes 11 through 18 play along the rocky peninsula offering unparalleled viewa along the turquise waters of The Bahamas. Native vegetation dots the course throughout, including sea grapes, silver buttonwood, sand fly bush and cabbage palms. Ground cover includes crimson-hued sea parsley and indigenous grasess.
