The Abaco Club on Winding Bay

The Abaco Club is a testament to the enduring allure of links-style golf in a decidedly un-Scottish setting. Carved into the dramatic coastal bluffs and pristine beachfront of Winding Bay on Great Abaco, the course offers a rare blend of windswept seaside challenge and Bahamian tranquility. Designed by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie, the course's modern interpretation of classic links architecture unfolds across rolling dunes and vibrant turquoise vistas. Wide fairways encourage aggressive play off the tee, but cunningly placed bunkers and testing coastal winds punish errant approaches. Doglegs right are prevalent, with a tendency to favor those who can work the ball left to right, a valuable skill in the ever present ocean winds. While lacking the storied tournament history of some of its peers, The Abaco Club offers a different kind of prestige: an exclusive escape for those who appreciate the finer things in life, where the most competitive matches unfold amongst friends and families against a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty. The club is known for its relaxed atmosphere and deep sea fishing, attracting a membership drawn to the island's laid-back pace.
