Sandy Lane Barbados

[JM2334]

Hi,

 

I'm looking at playing Sandy Lane golf course in Barbados in a couple of weeks. The country club course, not the green monkey course.

Has anyone played there before, any thouhgts on the place if so?

I have 1 and 1/4" longer clubs because I'm really tall, and I'm a high handicapper so worried if I'm going to enjoy it and with rental clubs.

Don't want too hard of a challenge, and I'm taking my other half as a none player so hoping they'll let us get a slot where can get our own tee time if not busy, as the nerves of playing with someone will just wreck my game!

Cheers!

I’ve played The Barbados Golf Club and it was nice and less costly than Sandy Lane. It was really windy when we played there, but the course was not too hard either. Sandy Lane will have less wind because it is no the leeward side of the island.

Thanks @boogielicious will take a look into that course too, how was the difficulty?

I'm really worried about using rental clubs as I used a set in Indonesia and they were tiny in length and mine are really long, I thinned it around the whole 18 holes and hated the experience!!

Other than the wind, it was not a hard course and it may not be windy this time of year.  We went in February. Rental clubs were ok,  it you would be better bringing your own if you can.

I feel it's pointless as we're going for a 10 day holiday and I'm only sneaking one afternoon round in! Will just have to hunch over a bit with the shorter clubs
