MOUNT IRVINE BAY HOTEL & GOLF CLUB
Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago
Designed by John Harris
Mount Irvine Bay Hotel & Golf Club occupies a coastal property on the Caribbean island of Tobago, designed by British architect John Harris and opened in the late 1960s. The course sits on gently rolling terrain above Mount Irvine Bay on Tobago's southwestern coast, where trade winds off the Caribbean Sea influence play throughout the year. The routing incorporates natural elevation changes and tropical vegetation characteristic of the island's landscape.
The layout measures approximately 6,800 yards from the back tees and features several holes that play along or near the coastline, offering views across the bay. The design takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with fairways bordered by coconut palms, sea grape, and other native flora. The course presents a mix of strategic challenges typical of Caribbean resort golf, where wind direction and intensity often dictate club selection and shot shaping.
Mount Irvine Bay has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains one of the few full-length courses in Trinidad and Tobago. The club operates as part of the Mount Irvine Bay Hotel property, serving both resort guests and local members. The facility reflects the island's golf history as a destination where the game took root during the mid-twentieth century, when several Caribbean islands developed courses to serve both tourism and expatriate communities.
