The world has voted and the results are in! Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club at Sandals Emerald Bay Golf, Tennis & Spa Resort was recently named The Bahamas’ Best Golf Course at the 1^st Annual World Golf Awards! Among stiff competition, Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club came out victorious due to the course’s pristine location, nestled along the turquoise waters of Great Exuma’s Emerald Bay. 

Designed by golf legend Greg Norman, the 18-hole, 7,001-yard, par 72 course features not one, but six signature holes that hug the coastline of a scenic peninsula. With fairways lining the ocean and prevailing trade winds, the Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club provides a challenging experience for any golfer. Novice, avid or professional golfer? Not to worry, with five different tee boxes available, this championship golf course can be played at every skill level. The course’s first nine holes wind through a mix of seaside dunes and mangrove preserves while holes 11 through 16 play along the rocky peninsula offering unparalleled views of the turquoise Emerald Bay.  

In its inaugural year, The World Golf Awards aims to celebrate and reward excellence in golf tourism as an extension of the World Travel Awards, which are heralded as “the Oscars of the travel industry.” Now celebrating its 21^st anniversary, The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge and celebrate achievements in all areas of the world’s travel and tourism industry.
