Luxury Golf Retreats: Where to Play & Stay in Nassau & Paradise Island

Nassau & Paradise Island is home to two of the world’s finest golf courses. Each course will have your scorecard (and your stories) looking very different.

Ocean Club Golf Course

Designed by the legendary Tom Weiskopf, the Ocean Club Golf Course is an absolute masterpiece. This 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretches over 7,100 yards, with the kind of stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Nassau Harbour that will make you stop and stare. The crosswinds here are a delightful challenge, so get ready to have a little fun with the elements. The best part? It's a private course, reserved just for guests of The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort or Atlantis Paradise Island, so you’ll enjoy a truly exclusive and serene round.

Royal Blue Golf Club

The Royal Blue Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Baha Mar, is a real showstopper with its unique "two courses in one" design. On the front nine, you'll find yourself on classic rolling fairways with more of those amazing ocean views. The back nine takes you on a totally different journey through a dramatic limestone landscape and lush tropical greenery. It’s a course that’s fun for everyone, whether you’re a pro or just love to hit the links while on holiday.

Bonus: Mini Golf! 

Not a pro? Not a problem! For those travelling with family or looking for some laid-back fun, Nassau & Paradise Island offers mini-golf options that are every bit as delightful as the big courses. 

At Atlantis Paradise Island, check out Good Lies Mini-Golf & Sports Bar, an outdoor course with creatively designed holes and an atmosphere that’s all about good times. Over at Baha Mar, there's Mini Blue Miniature Golf. This professionally inspired, 18-hole course is perfect for families, teens, and anyone who enjoys a little friendly competition. Both of these courses are a great way to enjoy the beautiful weather and share some laughs, no matter your age or skill level.
 

Here's a little secret for your next trip: you don't need to lug your own golf clubs all the way here. Our courses make it easy to travel light by offering top-notch clubs for rent. 

If you want to make your holiday completely seamless, check out the "stay and play" packages. Atlantis Paradise Island offers a Tee Time Golf Getaway Offer that includes a free round of golf for two and credits for the pro shop and food & beverage. It’s a fantastic way to make sure your entire holiday is sorted.

The fun doesn't stop once you finish your round. A golf holiday in Nassau & Paradise Island is an invitation to enjoy not only golf but our beautiful beaches and all of the amenities available at our resorts and the culture and history of our destination.

Treat Yourself

After a great day on the course, you deserve a pampering spa treatment. While many resorts have incredible spas, some offer services that are perfect for a post-round recovery. The Mandara Spa at Atlantis Paradise Island, for instance, combines ancient Balinese techniques with traditional European therapies. This holistic approach to muscle recovery makes it an ideal way to rejuvenate after your golf game.

Visit The Ocean Club Spa, which offers a Bahamas Rhythm Massage that uses mindful breathing and percussive instruments to loosen muscles and melt away tension. These are the kinds of luxurious, professional pampering experiences that will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated and ready for your next round.

Eat Your Heart Out

The culinary scene on Nassau & Paradise Island is buzzing with life. From casual beach shacks to fine-dining spots, there’s a new flavour to discover at every turn. If you’re at the Ocean Club Course and looking for a post-morning-round lunch, grab a quick and delicious bite at the course’s Clubhouse.  And if you’re playing at the Royal Blue Golf Course, we suggest Marcus at Baha Mar for  savoury bites, whether seafood or perfectly seasoned meats. 

For dinner after an afternoon round, dine at a world-renowned restaurant like DUNE by Chef Jean-Georges, set atop a white sand bluff with dramatic ocean views. For a high-end steak dinner, visit Seafire Steakhouse at Atlantis or Carna at Baha Mar.

Explore & Discover

Take a break from the fairways and check out the local treasures. While wandering through the famous Straw Market or exploring the history at Fort Charlotte are must-dos, sometimes you just need to lounge on a stunning beach after a round. You'll find the real heart of our Bahamian people and culture everywhere you go, and our beaches are a perfect place to see it. 

For a convenient spot to unwind, head to Cable Beach, known for its long stretch of soft white sand and calm turquoise water, or Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island. If you’re looking for a quieter, more secluded spot, Love Beach is a dream you won't want to wake up from, with its calm atmosphere and natural rock pools.
 

Your golf holiday to Nassau & Paradise Island is so much more than a game; it’s a chance to make incredible memories and discover a truly authentic piece of our home. Start planning your golf getaway.
