Point Hardy Golf Club: A Dreamy Escape for Golf Enthusiasts
If you’re a golf aficionado looking for the ultimate thrill, look no further than the Point Hardy Golf Club. Nestled in picturesque surroundings, this new exclusive private members’ club has quickly gained a reputation for its heart-pounding challenges and awe-inspiring ocean views. The drive off the 8th tee, in particular, is a real nail-biter, set on a slim promontory that extends into the Atlantic Ocean. With a 200-yard carry to reach the fairway, it surely tests anyone’s nerves—and talents!
A Course Like No Other
Spread across an impressive 370 acres, the course consists of 18 holes that are designed to blend seamlessly with the stunning landscape. It’s a breath of fresh air that counters the common perception that Caribbean courses primarily cater to luxury properties at the expense of architectural quality. Instead, Point Hardy Golf Club prioritizes an exhilarating golfing experience couched in natural beauty. Finished during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic, construction was carried out by a dedicated team that stayed on the island to ensure the course was brought to life.
Designed to Excite
With the visionary guidance of top architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the course was meticulously crafted to highlight its surroundings. Though the developers faced various agronomic and geological challenges, they managed to create an exciting layout that pushes players to strategize their every move. Noteworthy is the 1st hole, which demands a challenging uphill climb that rewards golfers with breathtaking views of the adjacent shoreline.
As you continue on, the 5th hole takes you downhill towards the ocean, adding another layer of complexity and beauty to your game. The atmosphere shifts at the 8th hole, where the perilous drop below can send shivers down your spine, making every successful drive feel like a major victory. With its many ups and downs, the course has drawn favorable comparisons to the highly revered Cypress Point golf course in California.
Fun and Comfort Abound
Participating in a round of golf at Point Hardy isn’t just about the game itself. Comfort stations scattered throughout the course offer top-shelf spirits and a variety of snacks, ensuring that members can indulge while they play. And let’s not forget the special challenges each hole offers! The 7th hole is a short par three that requires precise control to avoid cleverly situated hazards, while the 11th hole may not boast ocean views but still packs its own set of challenges.
More Than Just Golf
Additionally, the course does not skimp on excitement toward the end. The 14th hole features a long par five that demands your best effort, while the 15th offers an island tee box sitting right at sea level. The thrilling adventure continues with the par three 16th hole, requiring a careful shot across a cove, and the 17th involving a shot across a dramatic cliff face. After all that excitement, the final hole, a welcoming par five, provides a slightly easier approach for players, wrapping up their experience on a satisfying note.
Exclusive Membership and Luxurious Living
As a member of Point Hardy Golf Club, you get access to an elite and exclusive experience with only 250 memberships available, each requiring a $300,000 initiation fee. This destination has exciting real estate opportunities, including Horizon Villa Townhomes perched above the 11th fairway, which start at a cool $5.65 million. For those looking for a more well-rounded lifestyle, planned amenities will include tennis courts, a spa, a private beach, and a stunning clubhouse that overlooks the lush course.
A Testament to Natural Beauty

His experiences were worth the painstaking development process, showcasing exactly what this golfing paradise aims to achieve. The course’s ambitious design and breathtaking location make it a true oasis for any golf lover eager for adventure.
