New International Course Openings for 2024
If you haven’t caught some of the jaw-dropping images and videos of Cabot Saint Lucia’s Point Hardy Golf Club that have been circulating in golfers’ social media feeds, you’re likely in the minority. The new course, from one of the game’s most desired design duos—Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw—is dramatically draped across a 375-acre peninsula on the northern tip of the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. Each of the final four holes demands shots over crashing ocean waves and rocky coastline, including back-to-back par-threes that have drawn comparisons to the 16th and 17th holes at iconic Cypress Point on California’s Monterey Peninsula.
Sindalah Golf Club (Sindalah Island, Saudi Arabia)
Beyond Saudi Arabia’s push into the world of professional golf are projects like Sindalah, which is a groundbreaking 9-hole beachfront course built on a luxury island. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course will have nine greens that are accessed by 18 separate tees, creating a par-70 layout that plays to almost 6,500 yards and offers 360-degree views of the Red Sea. Golf is just one component of the exotic project called NEOM, which is positioned as the Red Sea region’s first super-yachting destination.
