About this course

Royal St. Kitts Golf Club occupies a distinctive peninsula setting at Frigate Bay on the southeastern coast of St. Kitts, where the layout navigates between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Designed by Canadian architect Thomas McBroom and opened in 1976, the course was later redesigned by McBroom in 2004 to enhance its routing and strategic character. The property sits on relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of the island's coastal lowlands, with prevailing trade winds playing a significant role in shot-making throughout the round. The course runs along narrow corridors of land bordered by salt ponds and coastal vegetation, creating a sense of isolation and exposure on many holes. Several holes play directly along the water, particularly on the back nine where the Caribbean Sea comes into view. The layout requires accuracy over distance, as the wind and tight fairways lined with native grasses and scrub penalize wayward shots. Water hazards, both natural and constructed, appear throughout the routing. Royal St. Kitts serves as the only championship golf course in St. Kitts and Nevis, making it the primary venue for regional amateur competitions and corporate events in the twin-island nation. The facility operates as part of the island's tourism infrastructure, welcoming visitors alongside local members. The clubhouse provides views across Frigate Bay and offers dining that reflects the island's Caribbean culinary traditions, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and regional ingredients.
