Four Seasons Resort Nevis
Charlestown Nevis St. Kitts & Nevis
Four Seasons Nevis Golf Course Overview
Four Seasons Resort Nevis Golf Course is the premier championship golf course in St. Kitts & Nevis, designed by Robert Trent Jones II. Located along Pinney’s Beach in Charlestown, the par-70, 6,682-yard layout blends dramatic elevation changes with sweeping Caribbean views.
Set against the slopes of Mount Nevis with vistas of neighboring St. Kitts and the Caribbean Sea, the course is widely considered one of the finest golf experiences in the region. The routing balances strategic design with the island’s natural topography, creating a layout that feels both intimate and expansive.
Caribbean Golf Course Design: Elevation & Terrain
Tropical golf course design presents unique challenges through significant elevation shifts. At Four Seasons Nevis, the golf holes gently climb through the first eight holes before narrowing and rising more dramatically through jungle-lined corridors. After cresting a ridge, the course descends toward the ocean and clubhouse, delivering one of the most exhilarating finishing stretches in Caribbean golf.
RTJ II absorbed much of the site’s elevation gain and loss within transitions between holes, ensuring playability while preserving the integrity of the landscape. The dramatic descent from holes fourteen through eighteen provides a memorable conclusion framed by sea views and resort scenery.
Strategic Golf Course Architecture
The 6,682-yard championship layout features deep ravines, coastal winds, and subtle green complexes that reward thoughtful shot selection. Due to the natural terrain challenges, bunkering remains restrained and strategic, with small clusters placed in key landing areas and around receptive greens.
Historic elements, including the ruins of an old sugar mill, provide a cultural backdrop to the round. Native wildlife and well-spaced palms frame corridors, enhancing the immersive island experience while maintaining strategic clarity.

As part of Four Seasons Resort Nevis, the course delivers a complete resort golf experience. Amenities include a driving range, putting green, private instruction, club rentals, and curated golf packages.
