Bahamas Golf Adventures

Golf in Eleuthera – Check out the Cotton Bay Club Golf Course in Rock Sound, Eleuthera. A secluded, 450-acre resort, Cotton Bay features 18 holes, 72-par, 129 bunkers, 13 water hazards, and 7,000 yards. It is the only Bahamas golf course designed by the world-renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones. Best of all, it is open to the public! This course was voted in 1989 as one of the 31 best golf courses in the world. However, the course is definitely rough around the edges, which may change with the development of Cotton Bay. It still maintains it’s top-flight grandeur, and is a breathtaking oceanfront course. For more info, call 242-334-6068.
