The Old Nine Barbados Golf Course on the western coast of the island has been providing hours of enjoyment for local and visiting golfers for over 40 years. As part of the original Sandy Lane resort when it was opened in the early 1960s, it is described as an "intimate yet demanding" course. Many golfers have also described the course as fun to play, especially as there are many of the island's native green monkeys scurrying about among the trees, making for an interesting and amusing round of Barbados golf.
It is unique from the other Sandy Lane golf courses as it winds its way through the original Sandy Lane Barbados estate that is now home to numerous luxury villas and homes. The Old Nine Barbados Golf Course may be considerably smaller than the other two Sandy Lane Barbados golf courses but it is certainly perfectly formed! Covering 3,345 yards, a Par 36 course with 9 golf holes, The Old Nine has perfectly lined rows of mahogany trees and lush greens. The fairways and greens are very intimate and tight, making for a very challenging golf experience. This is the perfect golf course for your Barbados golf vacation, where you can take your time and really enjoy playing at a slower pace; whilst taking in the stunning views as it is leads up to the limestone cliffs of the western coast of the island. Below is an overview of the 9 golf holes of this Barbados golf course:
