Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Curacao?

We highly recommend visiting during Curacao's dry season, which typically runs from February to September, for the most enjoyable golf weather. You'll experience consistent sunshine and a refreshing breeze, making for perfect playing conditions, though a brief tropical shower can always surprise you. The shoulder months, like May or September, are fantastic for fewer crowds and still-ideal temperatures.

What kind of golf courses and overall experience should I expect in Curacao?

Curacao offers a unique golf experience, blending resort-style courses with stunning ocean vistas and a few layouts carved into the island's more arid, desert-like landscape. You'll often find a welcome breeze off the sea, which is a blessing under the Caribbean sun, and the vibrant local flora and fauna add a distinct charm to your round. Don't expect lush, links-style tracks; think more rugged beauty meeting the turquoise sea.

Is golfing in Curacao an expensive endeavor, and what's the value like?

While not the absolute cheapest Caribbean destination, Curacao provides excellent value for your golf dollar, especially when compared to some of its more exclusive island neighbors. Green fees are generally moderate, and you can often find attractive stay-and-play packages that bundle your accommodation with golf. We always suggest booking your tee times and packages in advance, particularly during peak travel periods, to secure the best rates.

What are the must-do activities in Curacao when I'm not on the golf course?

You absolutely must dedicate time to exploring Willemstad, with its iconic colorful Dutch colonial architecture and the bustling floating market-it's a UNESCO World Heritage site for good reason. We also strongly recommend diving or snorkeling in the island's incredibly clear waters; the vibrant marine life is breathtaking and a perfect way to unwind after a morning round. Don't miss a visit to one of the stunning local beaches like Cas Abao or Grote Knip.

How easy is it to get around Curacao and access the golf courses?

Renting a car is hands-down our top recommendation for navigating Curacao; it gives you the freedom to explore the island's hidden gems and reach all the golf courses conveniently. While taxis are available, their costs can add up quickly, and public transportation isn't ideal for accessing many of the golf resorts. The island is compact enough that no course is ever too far from your accommodation, making self-driving a breeze.
