Located in the lush landscapes of Barbados, the Apes Hill Club has achieved a remarkable feat by securing a spot in Golfweek’s prestigious “Top 100 International Courses” list for 2024. This recognition is a testament to the club’s commitment to excellence and its ability to offer an unparalleled golfing experience.

The journey of Apes Hill Club to international acclaim began with a vision to create a golf course that harmonizes with the natural beauty of Barbados. The course’s architect, Ron Kirby, has masterfully designed a layout that not only challenges golfers of all levels but also provides breathtaking views of both the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The championship 18-hole course is a marvel of golf architecture, boasting a strategic layout that is as beautiful as it is challenging. Perched 1,000 feet above sea level, the course winds through 475 acres of stunning terrain, where the indigenous Barbados green monkeys are as much a part of the scenery as the immaculately manicured greens.

Dedication to environmental stewardship is evident in its sustainable practices. The course’s irrigation system, which utilizes a 58-million-gallon reservoir to collect rainwater, along with the use of local seaweed, manure, and compost for fertilization, showcases the club’s commitment to preserving the island’s natural resources.

The accolades for Apes Hill Club have been numerous. Apart from the recent Golfweek honor, the club has also been recognized as the Development of the Year by Golf Inc. Magazine and has won multiple categories at the World Golf Awards, including ‘World’s Best Golf Real Estate Venue’ and ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility’.

It is more than just a golf course; it is a destination that offers a holistic experience. With state-of-the-art facilities, including a Performance Centre and a soon-to-be-completed family-friendly nine-hole par-3 course, Apes Hill caters to every aspect of the golf enthusiast’s desires.

The club’s accommodations are nothing short of luxurious. The three-bedroom courtyard villas, framed by natural coral and foliage, offer private swimming pools and stunning ocean views. Designed to capture natural light and breezes, these villas provide the perfect blend of privacy and elegance.

Apes Hill Club extends its commitment to sustainability through its farm, which produces fresh herbs, edible flowers, bananas, breadfruit trees, and honey. These locally sourced ingredients not only support the on-site restaurants but also contribute to the community’s well-being.

With its recent international recognition, Apes Hill Club is poised to shape the future of golf in Barbados. The club’s innovative approach to course design and environmental sustainability sets a new standard for golf courses worldwide.

The inclusion of Apes Hill Club in Golfweek’s “Top 100 International Courses” is a significant milestone for Barbados and the world of golf. It reflects the club’s unwavering dedication to providing an exceptional golfing experience while maintaining a deep respect for the environment. As Apes Hill Club continues to garner accolades and set benchmarks, it stands as a shining example of what the future of golf can and should be.
