About this course
Baker's Bay isn't just a golf course; it's a declaration of luxury carved into the Abaco's dramatic coastline, where turquoise waters meet vibrant green fairways. Conceived in the modern era, the Greg Norman-designed course embraces the island's natural contours, with holes winding through seaside dunes and alongside bluffs overlooking the Atlantic. While generous fairways offer a welcoming target from the tee, prevailing trade winds and strategically placed bunkers punish errant shots, demanding strategic play and a keen understanding of distance control. The club favors a draw and benefits players with a higher ball flight. The course is integrated with its membership—an exclusive enclave of global citizens drawn as much to the community as the championship golf. Baker's Bay has swiftly cultivated a reputation for understated elegance, where casual comfort blends seamlessly with refined service. Members regularly find themselves sharing stories and laughs at the clubhouse, where the Bahamian sunset is often best enjoyed with a celebrated rum punch and fresh conch salad. Beyond the links, Baker's Bay offers an experience far removed from the everyday. Here, yachting, deep-sea fishing, and secluded beaches provide endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation. While the course hasn't hosted major championships, it stands as a testament to Norman's ability to create a challenging yet playable layout in a breathtaking setting. Baker's Bay is a place to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary, a place where the spirit of adventure thrives alongside a passion for the game. It has steadily established itself as a premier destination for those seeking a sanctuary of beauty, camaraderie, and unparalleled golfing experiences in the heart of the Bahamas.

Getting there
Most visitors to Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club arrive via Marsh Harbour International Airport, a short puddle-jump from Nassau or direct from South Florida gateways like Fort Lauderdale. Private aviation is the preferred mode for many members, with the club's own 5,000-foot airstrip on Great Guana Cay offering seamless arrival just steps from the property. From Marsh Harbour, a brief boat transfer across the crystalline waters of the Sea of Abaco completes the journey, trading the hum of civilization for the whisper of trade winds and the first glimpse of Tom Fazio's emerald fairways threading between dunes and ocean.
