Golf

Designed by South African golf architect Peter Matkovitch, the par 72, 205 acre course has wide, undulating fairways carved through a sugar cane plantation and lies between the volcanic mountains and the turquoise blue sea. Much of the landscaping and design, such as the use of Vettiver and Mondo grass, simulate the dramatic contours of the Bel Ombre estate plantations which still surround the course.

The course is technically challenging for low-handicappers but also highly enjoyable for recreational golfers, with five sets of tees and bunkers, water hazards and blind greens strategically placed. Two rivers, the Citronniers and St Martin, cross the fairways at unexpected points, and lush, exotic flowers scent the air.

Beginners, or those who want to practice their short game, are catered for with Le Golf du Château's 9-hole par 3 course, the only one of its kind on the island.

As with any first class golf resort, golfers needing to fine-tune their game can visit the driving range or PGA-run golf academy for top-class instruction. There is also a well-stocked pro shop.
