The Abaco Club is
the best course I've seen this year, anywhere." Lorne Rubenstein,
Toronto Globe & Mail

| "The golf course at The Abaco
Club is being heralded as the world's first tropical links, a bold
claim but one that is fulfilled. Indeed there is no course in the
Caribbean quite like it. Without a doubt, the oceanfront closing will
quickly take its place among the very best." Tom Dune, The
Golfer |
The architect, Scotland's Donald Steel, is the world's leading links architect,
having built or redesigned over 100 courses around the world, many of
them being seaside venues. Emphasis on top quality, based on technical
and academic knowledge and attention to detail, combined with his philosophy
of minimizing earth movement and blending a course layout into its natural
surroundings are the hallmarks of his work.
The par 72 championship layout plays to a length of 7,183 yards. The finishing
holes of our 'tropical links' course rest comfortably high atop a ridge
overlooking the ocean. The 18th hole, a 553 yard par 5, plays alongside
the ocean at elevations of 60 feet. It is destined to rank among the great
finishing holes in golf.
An extensive world-class practice facility, teaching academy, and pro
shop rounds out the exceptional golfing experience for members of The
Abaco Club on Winding Bay.
