The Sandy Lane Old Nine Golf Course occupies a compact footprint on the grounds of the Sandy Lane resort in St. James Parish on Barbados's western coast. Tom Fazio designed this nine-hole layout as part of the property's golf offerings, which also include the resort's championship Country Club course. The Old Nine predates Fazio's later work at Sandy Lane and serves as a shorter, more relaxed alternative to the resort's larger layouts. The course plays across relatively flat terrain characteristic of Barbados's coastal plain, with holes routed through tropical vegetation and mature trees. The design incorporates the island's natural features, including coral stone outcroppings and Caribbean flora, though the topography lacks the dramatic elevation changes found on the resort's Green Monkey course, which Fazio carved into an old limestone quarry. The Old Nine functions primarily as an executive-length layout suitable for resort guests seeking a quicker round or practice before playing the longer courses. Sandy Lane's golf facilities cater to an international resort clientele, with the Old Nine offering accessibility for players of varying abilities. The course integrates into the broader resort experience, which includes beachfront accommodations and dining. While the championship courses at Sandy Lane have hosted professional events and attracted attention for their design ambition, the Old Nine maintains a quieter role as a supplementary amenity within the property's golf portfolio.
