Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf experience like in Aruba, given its small number of courses?

Don't let the limited number of courses fool you-Aruba offers a distinct and high-quality golf experience. You'll find well-maintained tracks, often with stunning ocean views and a unique desert-meets-tropical landscape that challenges your game. We recommend playing Tierra del Sol for its championship layout and beautiful setting.

When is the best time to visit Aruba for a golf trip?

The sweet spot for golf in Aruba is typically from April to August, just after the peak tourist season. You'll still enjoy fantastic weather with less crowded courses and potentially better rates on tee times and accommodations. Be prepared for consistent trade winds, which are a constant factor in your game here.

How challenging are Aruba's golf courses, especially with the island's famous winds?

Aruba's courses are definitely challenging, largely thanks to those persistent trade winds that can turn a short iron into a long one in a hurry. Tierra del Sol, in particular, demands precision and strategic play, with its desert-style links and oceanfront holes. You'll need to master low shots and embrace the elements for a good score.

What should I expect to pay for a round of golf in Aruba, and are there any ways to save?

Green fees in Aruba can range from $100 to $200+ per round, depending on the course and time of year. We always suggest checking for twilight rates, which often start in the afternoon and offer significant savings. Staying at a resort affiliated with a course can also sometimes unlock discounted access for guests.

Beyond the golf courses, what unique Aruban experiences should a golfer not miss?

After your round, you absolutely must explore Aruba's vibrant culinary scene-the fresh seafood is incredible, especially at local spots away from the main tourist strip. We also highly recommend spending time on the island's stunning beaches like Eagle Beach, perfect for unwinding and soaking up the sun after a challenging day on the links.
