Presented by LINKS Magazine, tournament entry for the event includes three rounds of tournament play (two at the Four Seasons Nevis Golf Club and one at the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club); four nights' accommodation in a Deluxe Nevis 'peak view' Room with private lanai at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis; all-inclusive meals and beverages; and all ground and ferry transfers between St. Kitts and Nevis. 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 the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and was the first Caribbean golf course to earn Audubon Certification for its environmental practices. The Four Seasons Nevis Golf Club features the 71 par, 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II designed course, overlooking the Caribbean Sea and St. Kits with a spectacular 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 theTop 25 Islands in the world for golf travel; one of just seven Caribbean islands to earn a spot on the list. LINKS magazine touts amongst its readership the most avid, affluent individuals in the golf industry, reaching 210,000 print subscribers and several hundred thousand readers via its official digital platforms.
