Play Golf in Turks and Caicos
The Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, located in the Grace Bay area of Providenciales, is the premier golfing destination in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Designed by Karl Litten and opened in 1992, the 18-hole championship course has earned significant acclaim, including being named repeatedly the #1 golf course in the Caribbean by USA Today's 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards. The par-72 course stretches up to 6,719 yards from the championship tees and features a "target-style" design with four tee boxes to suit players of all skill levels. Set on natural coral and limestone terrain, the course is known for its indigenous landscaping, rugged limestone features, and scenic water hazards. It is fully surfaced with Platinum Paspalum grass, which offers salt tolerance and environmental benefits, reducing natural water usage by 25%.
Among the standout holes is the formidable par-5 12th, nicknamed “The Beast,” which plays 549 yards into prevailing winds, demanding precision and strategy. The signature 14th hole, a picturesque par-4, features a tee shot over water and an approach to a green flanked by sand traps and a large lake. Golfers are also treated to views of local wildlife, with flamingos, herons, and egrets often seen near the water features.
The club offers a range of amenities including practice areas with a chipping and putting green, a warm-up net, and a pro shop stocked with top golf brands. There are premium Titleist club sets available for rent, including options for both left- and right-handed players. Beyond golf, the club features two flood-lit hard courts for tennis and pickleball, open to both members and the public. The on-site #19 Bar and Restaurant serves breakfast and lunch daily from 7:00 AM, providing a relaxed post-round setting. Tee times are available to the public and can be booked up to 120 days in advance. The course is designed for a brisk pace, with most rounds completed in under four hours, and services such as GPS-enabled carts and a beverage cart add to the convenience.
