Golfers looking for a luxurious golf getaway with an opportunity to fine tune their game for the upcoming season, need look no further than St. Kitts & Nevis, the Caribbean's newest golf destination. From May 3-7, 2016, the twin islands will be hosting the inaugural St. Kitts & Nevis Partner Golf Classic, a 54-hole partner event featuring play on two world-class golf courses, the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club and the Four Seasons Nevis Golf Club.

Celebrating the island's newest signature golf event, The Hon. Lindsay F.P. Grant, Minister of Tourism, International Trade, Industry and Commerce, said, "With two championship courses and two more in various stages of construction, our twin-island destination is developing into an amazing destination for golfers and this event is an excellent opportunity to showcase our product to this key target visitor."
The links-style Royal St. Kitts Golf Club is an 18-hole course redesigned by Thomas McBroom in 2003. Its unique layout offers holes on both Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. It was the first Caribbean golf course to earn Audubon Certification for its environmental practices. The Four Seasons Nevis Golf Club features the par 71, 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II designed. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea and St. Kitts with a spectacular beachside finish at the 18th green.
In addition to the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club and the Four Seasons Nevis Golf Club, St. Kitts & Nevis will soon be home to the hillside Irie Fields championship course designed by Ian Woosnam at Kittitian Hill and a cliff-top Tom Fazio championship course at Christophe Harbour. Together, they create a collection of scenic, championship courses unmatched in a destination of St. Kitts and Nevis' size.
In 2014, LINKS Magazine included St. Kitts & Nevis in its newly created ranking of the Top 25 Islands in the world for golf travel; one of just seven Caribbean islands to earn a spot on the list.
