Sandy Lane Golf Resort Barbados Caribbean

Barbados | Venue of the WGC - Barbados World Cup 2006

Sandy Lane enjoys a prime oceanfront location on the western coast of Barbados, the Caribbean's easternmost island known as "Little England". Originally built in 1961 on the site of an old sugar plantation, Sandy Lane firmly established itself as a premier address in the Caribbean and hosted many movie stars, business personalities and royalties. In 2001, the resort reopened after being completely rebuilt to feature 45 holes of golf, luxury accommodation, fine dining, full country club facilities and an exclusive 5 bedroom villa.

Accommodation at Sandy Lane comprises 112 luxury rooms and suites, all exceedingly spacious, lavishly appointed, tastefully decorated and uniquely featuring a large private verandah, flat screen TV with NEOS in-room entertainment system and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with specially designed massage showers.

Sandy Lane's two main restaurants overlook the beach, affording spectacular views of the Caribbean and sunset. These are L'Acajou, a classy seafront venue featuring New World haute cuisine with a wide selection of New World and European wines, and the casual beachfront Bajan Blue, offering the finest cuisine from the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Asia. Both are complemented by The Spa Café and The Country Club Restaurant, while traditional Afternoon Tea is served on the lower terrace.

The new Sandy Lane Spa is a state-of-the-art facility that blends traditional therapies from the Caribbean, the Far East and Europe. Facilities include eleven VIP treatment suites, relaxation and meditation rooms, a spa circuit, spa café and salon. The resort also boasts full country club facilities with nine tennis courts and a 1000 feet white sandy beach with a wide range of watersports.

Sandy Lane provides contrasting golf experiences and guests can choose between playing the charming Old Nine course, Tom Fazio's new Country Club championship course and the much talked about Green Monkey. The dramatic Green Monkey course being developed by Tom Fazio has not officially open yet, but guests at Sandy Lane already enjoy privileged, though limited access to the course.

This championship-style layout has been carved out of a former quarry with dramatic elevation changes affording stunning vistas of the Caribbean Sea. The course is named after the island's famous Bajan green monkeys, and features a bunker with a grass island carved in the shape of a monkey! Sandy Lane will have the honour to host the World Golf Championships - Barbados World Cup in December 2006, a tribute to the exceptional quality of The Country Club Course at this upscale resort.
