Golf in the Caribbean — sweeping vistas, soft ocean breezes and swaying palm trees. It’s such a beautiful place to play golf that when you slice into the water on the fourth hole, you won’t have a care in the world. But if you want to step up the relaxation, you can stay and play at some of the region’s best all-inclusive properties. Here are our top 10 in the Caribbean, including properties that you might not have realized offer all-inclusive options.
Casa de Campo — Dominican Republic
When it comes to Caribbean golf, it doesn’t get any better than Casa de Campo, home to Teeth of the Dog, the Pete Dye-designed course that’s largely considered the best golf course in the entire region, along with two other stellar courses. And with the Casa Complete supplement, you get a complete all inclusive experience.
