Golfing at Apes Hill Club resort in Barbados is setting up to be an experience that guests won’t soon forget. The resort’s 18-hole championship golf course is being thoughtfully re-designed by world-renowned golf course architect, Ron Kirby. While still in the midst of its $60 million renovations, the resort has seen incredible improvements and is aiming to reopen in November 2022.
For the uninitiated, the Apes Hill golf course is known for its stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and a challenging Par 72 course. Beyond the fairways, the entire resort facility is surrounded by lush vegetation and punctuated by quiet birdsong. If you are looking for more than golf, there are ample activities available for everyone at any time. Golf aside, guests at Apes Hill enjoy playing tennis, hiking, biking, swimming, and all the other on-site amenities.
There are also plenty of dining options available, so you can fuel up for a day of fun in the sun or wind down with a spectacular sunset. Whether you’re an experienced golfer or just getting started, Apes Hill Golf Resort is teeing up to be the perfect place for your next vacation.

What to Expect When Golfing at the Newly Renovated Apes Hill Resort
13 Seaview Holes
These will be available on Apes Hill’s 18-hole golf course, with four of them offering vistas of both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
The 18-Hole Championship Course
From a tee-side chat with old friends and meeting new ones as you take on the 18-hole par-72 championship course to refining your swing while taking in the views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, there’s something for everyone here.
You’ll find yourself on the only course on the island that’s bordered by ancient bearded fig trees, where coral gullies pour into coral caverns and the Drunken Monkey is waiting to greet you with a drink in hand.

The New 9-Hole Par 3 Course and 19th Hole
Ticks all the boxes and appealing to all your senses. This 15-acre amusement land will serve as a gathering place for you and your families to bond and create long-lasting memories. Even the smallest of grandchildren are welcome in this laid-back environment. The 19th hole was referenced to one of the most famous lake island greens in the world, just for fun, or you might call it an exercise in creativity. Imagine the thrill of holing out while your pals look on in amazement from a location that’s within short sight of the clubhouse.
Hiking Trails
The length of gully hiking nature paths will be further extended throughout the 475-acre community, bringing you closer to one of Barbados’ most stunning but remote natural heritage sites.

There are two brand new driving nets installed, complete with automatic ball return. There’s also a new chipping green and putting green, so you can work on every aspect of your game. And if you need some help getting started, the resort’s pro shop can provide you with all the latest equipment and instruction.
Performance & Teaching Center
A golf lesson, a new set of clubs to test, a new set of clubs to purchase, or just an improvement in your physical skills are all possibilities. Upon entering the state-of-the-art Performance & Teaching Center, their highly trained and experienced staff with TPI, club fitting, and coaching qualifications will greet you.
The center is the only one of its kind in the Caribbean and is equipped with the most advanced technology. Through their performance center and practice facilities, they will develop many programs, such as the “Get into golf” beginner’s clinics, that will provide a more structured, but still enjoyable approach to learning the game of golf to newcomers. All levels of ability are welcome to participate.

Leisure and Fitness Center
It’s no surprise that their 2600sqft fitness and leisure center serves as something of a focal point at Apes Hill.
