very own Golf & Country Club in Jamaica has been recognized as an elite

About the Course
At Sandals regency St. Lucia Golf
Resort and Spa at La Toc, a round at the sporty 9-hole golf course is a
perfect ending to a day at the sea. The course nettles in a picturesque
valley surrounded by lush, villa-studded hills, its emerald, undulating
terrain punctuated by bursts of crepe myrtle, bougainvillea and other flamboyant
blossoms.
Measuring only 3,141 yards, this
layout is short but not always sweet. Erratic breezes often make club selection
a nail-biting dilemma, and several holes are as tight as tunnels, demanding
laser like accuracy of the tee. On the par-3 down hill on the 8th hole,
for example, a mere fade or draw could land you in a jungle of white cedars,
mango and almond tress and bamboo.
"Number 8 is the only hole I get
nervous on," confides the knowledgeable and experienced head pro, Gregory
Mann, who grew-up on the island and is a former star on the Caribbean amateur
golf tour. "You have to dead straight on this hole or your're dead."
Rewards may not come in the form
of birdies on this tricky track, but the views more than compensate. Four
holes (4,7,8 and 3) render astonishing vistas, so pack your camera along
with your clubs. The ultimate panorama awaits on the elevated 4th tee,
so spellbinding that golfers can hardly keep their eyes on the ball. From
that majestic perch, you can see great white cruise ships gliding across
the vast, turquoise Caribbean Sea, while the occasional light plane swoops
overhead.
Sandals Golf Club at La Toc is accessible
at all three St. Lucia's Sandals Resorts, and every kind of player is catered
to. Golfers who have a soft spot for tradition (and what serious golfer
doesn't?) are cheered to learn about the course's corps of 28 caddies,
all eager to read greens, scout lost balls an provide crucial tips on club
selection.
Indeed, cadies-a sadly dwindling
breed in the States-are mandatory at Sandals and Beaches golf courses.
You have the option of chasing par with a caddy and golf cart or, for a
truly vintage experience, going to the caddy only route. For novices who
wouldn't know a caddy from a daddy, Mann-a member of the U.S. Golf Teachers
Association-conducts a comprehensive, 30 minute beginners' clinic every
Wednesday at 9 a.m. he also gives private lessons to intermediate and advanced
players intent on fine tuning their games. |
