Grand Cayman golf: A Good Alternative To Scuba Diving
By Angus MacLeod

Grand Cayman golf is quite popular even though the Grand Cayman Islands are often frequented by scuba divers who find the turquoise waters very appealing. You may even be a golfer of any handicap; there are Grand Cayman golf courses that suit professional as well as amateur golfers. The lovely Caribbean surroundings make this an especially attractive golfing destination.

There may not be any golfing available on Little Cayman, or Cayman Brac, but the Grand Cayman golf courses are wonderful for a day's leisurely golf that has much to offer the golfer. The lovely fairways lined on either side with palm trees make the Grand Cayman golf courses a viable alternative to the more scuba diving facilities.

Situated Close By The Sea Providing An Excellent Panoramic View Of The Caribbean

Situated close to the sea, the Grand Cayman golf courses are also in close proximity of the famous Seven Mile Beach, and there is also the Grand Cayman Britannia that has been designed by none other than golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, which is undoubtedly the most famous of the many courses available on Grand Cayman islands. This Grand Cayman golf course, sometimes referred to as ‘Cayman Course', is special in itself because golfers need to use balls that move slowly, and they only travel half the distance of normal golf balls.

The Cayman course has both a nine-hole regulation par-70 as well as an eighteen hole par-75 course. The course fee for playing here is about sixty dollars, and use of carts is compulsory at the Cayman course which means paying another fifteen to twenty-five dollars more than the normal course fees.

Another popular Grand Cayman golf course is the one situated at Safe Haven where there is an eighteen hole golf course that has flowers lining the greens, and there is also a pro shop and restaurant as well as, of course, the club house. This is one challenging Grand Cayman golf course where the breeze flows freely and challenges the golfer to play to the top of his or her game.

For those who feel that the Grand Cayman golf is their cup of tea, they can rent villas in the vicinity, and generally be close to the links. Notwithstanding stiff competition from scuba diving, Grand Cayman golf is for golfers of all handicaps and there is also 9-hole championship golf available. There will possibly not be any other better golfing to be had anywhere else in the Caribbean than at the Grand Cayman.

Given the blustery winds, you will certainly need to get the hang of playing golf at the Grand Cayman golf courses, and will require to strategically place every shot on each hole to counteract the wind.
