With
sun-drenched greens, gentle trade winds and a natural seaside setting, The Links
at Safehaven course is reminiscent of the old Scottish coastal courses, the
original "Links." Located only five miles from George Town off Seven Mile Beach,
its greens are built to USGA standards and the entire course offers a challenge
to professionals and amateur golfers alike. The Links Clubhouse has a restaurant
and an open-air bar, pro shop and locker room facilities.
The
Links at Safe Haven is a par 71, 18-hole championship layout, measuring 6,525
yards and featuring Caribbean trade winds. Home to the Caribbean Amateur
Championships in 1997, and winner of the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 Best
Golf Course in the Caribbean Award by Caribbean World magazine, the Links is
beautifully landscaped with native plants and trees, offering scenic views of
the North Sound. Its North Sound signature hole, a par 3, hole number 11, is a
humbling 235 yards from the tips played into strong Caribbean trade winds. Ample
practice putting greens, bunkers and an aqua driving range complete this golf
experience.
Visitors
to Grand Cayman marvel at its mix of British and Caribbean cultures. This rare
blend permeates the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman, including its centerpiece, the
Britannia Golf and Beach Club. This
Scottish-style course designed by Jack Nicklaus is actually three courses in
one. Off the regulation tees, it plays as a par-35, nine-hole course. Play the
additional nine greens and tees, and it's a par-57, 18-hole executive course. Or
you can tee up the revolutionary restricted-flight "Golden Bear Cayman Ball" and
play a par-71, 18-hole round.
Reminiscent of legendary courses such as Royal Troon, Turnberry and Berkdale on
the other side of the
Atlantic, Nicklaus has sculpted a picturesque course with
a Scottish flair, featuring grassy mounds, rolling dunes, lakes and oversized
bunkers. The course has all the natural challenges and hazards of a traditional
seaside or links layout. On some holes blind tee shots, pot bunkers and
two-tiered greens test the golfer. On the 5th hole, the tee shot must carry over
the Caribbean Sea, while on the breathtaking 562-yard hole 9, three different
shots will carry you over water hazards.
No matter how you play, you'll truly enjoy this unique and challenging
course.
A Two-Way Course The Britannia course is unique in that it can be played two different ways: as a
Championship course, or as an Executive course. The Cayman Ball is optional on
Mondays and Fridays. Located right here on this
property, Britannia will
challenge every golfer from the novice to the pro!
On Monday, Wednesday, Friday all day and Sunday mornings, we offer the Executive
format. This consists of 18 shorter length holes: 15 par 3s and three par 4s
(par 57 yardage
2,759 - slope rating 83).
On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday all day and Sunday in the afternoon, the course
is set up as a nine-hole
Regulation layout that you play twice from different
tees. Par 70 (35 for each nine holes) - yardage
5,829 - slope rating 135).
The Executive course takes approximately three hours to play while the
Regulation course takes two hours to play nine holes.

clinics and
tournaments for golfers of all skill levels. Callaway rental clubs are available
