Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf scene like in Saint John, given there's only one course?

You'll find a single, charming 18-hole course, Cedar Valley Golf Club, just outside Saint John. It's not a championship monster, but a well-maintained, enjoyable track with some tricky par-3s and lovely views of the island's interior. We recommend it for a relaxed round; don't expect pristine PGA conditions, but rather a friendly, authentic Caribbean golf experience that's great for all skill levels.

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Saint John?

The sweet spot for golf in Saint John is generally from December to May. You'll enjoy cooler, drier weather perfect for a round, avoiding the hotter, wetter hurricane season that runs from June to November. While it's peak tourist season, the single course rarely feels overly crowded, so you can usually secure a tee time without much hassle.

Since there's only one golf course, what else should I do in Saint John?

With just one course, you'll have plenty of time to explore Antigua's stunning beaches - Dickenson Bay and Fort James Beach are close by and absolutely gorgeous for swimming or relaxing. We highly recommend visiting Nelson's Dockyard National Park for a dose of history and beautiful harbor views, or taking a catamaran tour to snorkel the reefs and truly experience the island's beauty.

Is golfing in Saint John an expensive endeavor, and what should I budget?

Golfing at Cedar Valley is quite reasonable compared to many Caribbean destinations; expect green fees to be around $70-100 USD, with cart and club rentals adding another $50-70. It's a good value for a tropical round, but remember to factor in transportation costs to and from the course, as taxis can add up if you're staying further afield.

How easy is it to get to Cedar Valley Golf Club from Saint John, and where should I consider staying?

Cedar Valley Golf Club is conveniently located just a short 10-15 minute drive from downtown Saint John, making it very accessible by taxi or rental car. For accommodation, we suggest staying near Dickenson Bay for easy beach access and a good selection of hotels, or closer to Saint John for more local dining and market experiences, all within easy reach of the course.
