Frequently Asked Questions
What's the golf scene like in St Lucia, and are the courses worth playing?
St Lucia offers a unique golf experience with its two distinct courses. You'll find a challenging 18-hole championship course and a scenic 9-hole option, both providing stunning Caribbean views. We think they're absolutely worth playing for the incredible scenery and a relaxed pace, even if the quantity isn't high.
When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to St Lucia?
We recommend visiting St Lucia for golf during the dry season, which runs from December to May. You'll enjoy consistent sunshine and lower humidity, making for perfect playing conditions without the risk of tropical downpours. It's also peak tourist season, so book your tee times and accommodations well in advance.
How easy is it to get between the golf courses and resorts in St Lucia?
St Lucia's two courses are located in different sub-regions, so planning your logistics is key. You'll likely need to arrange transfers or rent a car, especially if you want to experience both the northern and southern golf offerings. We found that staying near one course and planning a dedicated day trip to the other worked best for us.
What should I budget for green fees and golf-related expenses in St Lucia?
Expect green fees in St Lucia to be on the higher side, typical for Caribbean island resorts. You're looking at around $150-$250 USD per round, often including a cart. We always recommend checking resort packages, as they sometimes offer better value for multiple rounds or include equipment rentals.
Besides golf, what are the must-do activities for golfers visiting St Lucia?
After your rounds, you absolutely must explore St Lucia's breathtaking natural beauty. We loved hiking the iconic Pitons, snorkeling in the vibrant marine reserves, and visiting the unique drive-in volcano. Don't miss out on the local cuisine and lively markets – it's a fantastic way to experience the island beyond the fairways.
