He got bit by the golf bug during the pandemic like millions of Americans and is OBSESSED. So naturally, he wanted us to pack our sticks along with our bathing suits and get in a round. I protested because I didn’t want to have to lug my clubs, but decided that minor inconvenience was worth the chance to play one of the top courses in the Caribbean with my brother and father. Located in Providenciales, the main island in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club has been named Best Caribbean Golf Course the past three years by USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. First conceived in 1989 by the Turks and Caicos Water Company in an effort to further promote tourism to the island, the course then known as Provo Golf Club welcomed its first golfers on November 7, 1992. Rebranded in 2021 to reflect its history with Turks and Caicos, Royal Turks and Caicos is a well-maintained, tropical track reflecting the natural terrain of the island. What the course lacks in bunkers and waste areas (approximately 30), it makes up for in palm trees with approximately 2,500. Be wary of water hazards and thick vegetation that can gobble up golf balls if you stray too far from the fairway, turning your relaxing vacation into frustration. Nothing a drink on the beach can’t fix! I don’t remember what I shot, though I recall playing better on the front 9 than the back, but I will always remember a memorable afternoon as a family.
