Named after the famous Bajan green monkeys common on the island, the signature hole even features a bunker with a grass island carved in the shape of a monkey. This newest course is a Tom Fazio design built specifically for Sandy Lane guests only. THE SANDY
LANE COUNTRY CLUB COURSE Enjoy a day
out on the greens at one of Sandy Lanes premier courses. Whatever
your handicap, the long and challenging Country Club Course offers
any golfer a personal challenge. This PGA Championship 18 hole golf
course is designed by Robert Trent Jones II. It takes a step beyond
PGA standards with water hazards, tough doglegs and rolling fairways.
This 7060 yards long course features lush greens, five lakes, and
fabulous open fairways with angled slopes. Built in 1961,
the famous and endeared Old Nine is at the same time intimate yet
challenging. With tree-lined fairways, its 9 holes artfully wind
their way magically through the old estate. When playing
in Barbados, soft spikes are required. Carts are also compulsory
and on all courses you will be accompanied by one caddie per cart
who will assist with local knowledge and any other services required.

A collage of sun, sea, music and gentle Caribbean breezes collectively charm you as their guests for the day. From the water, you can catch a glimpse of the island's lovely and lush coastline.

Traveling in a luxury air-conditioned motor coach and stopping at several scenic stops, including Gun Hill Signal Station, St. Johns Parish, the East Coast, and Farley Hill National Park-this adventure is sure to please history buffs and island enthusiasts. We begin at Gun Hill, one of a chain of signal stations established across the island for security and for disseminating information mainly related to shipping. This spot affords one of the most enticing views of the southern end of the Island. The next stop, St. John's Parish Church, is an excellent example of a classic Gothic Church showcasing all the essentials of "the true church architecture." At the edge of Hackleton's cliff, with the appearance of almost being carved from the rock, St. John's is famous for its magnificent view of the rugged East Coast. Continuing through winding roads and past quaint villages to the East Coast and Bathsheba, we will catch glimpses of surfers attempting to conquer the Atlantic Ocean waves. Marvel at the magnificent coral rock formations decorate miles and miles of sandy beaches on the East Coast. Our next stop will be Farley Hill National Park, where we have the opportunity to explore what once was the fashionable 19th century home of Sir Graham Briggs. Location of the filming of the screen epic "Island In The Sun," with Harry Belafonte, Farley Hill was reduced to an ashen skeleton shortly after the movie was made. Now a national park, nestled in the middle of the northern part of Barbados, this will be an excellent opportunity to view both the tranquil West coast, and rugged East coasts of the Island.

Shopping Shuttle With high-quality, tax-free merchandise, excellent service by friendly and knowledgeable sales staff, and comfortable, air-conditioned stores, shopping in Barbados truly is just beyond your imagination! Hop on board a shuttle and head to Bridgetown, the shopping capital of Barbados! While there are a plethora of duty free shops in Bridgetown offering great deals, there are also impressive local crafts worth a perusal. Some of the best duty-free buys include cameras, watches, crystal, gold jewelry, bone china, cosmetics and perfumes, and liquor (including locally produced Barbados rum and liqueurs), along with tobacco products and cashmere sweaters, tweeds, and sportswear from Britain. If you purchase items made in Barbados, you don't have to pay duty. Keep your eyes out for one of the most striking items among the Barbados handcrafts: black-coral jewelry. Other notable Bajan crafts include clay pottery, wall hangings woven from local grasses and dried flowers, straw mats, baskets, and bags with raffia embroidery. Still in its infant stage, leatherwork is also found on Barbados, particularly handbags, belts, and sandals. Shuttles depart for Bridgetown from the hotel hourly.

with Chef Are you ready to cook Bajan-style? Sandy Lane's current Sous Chef, Timothy Walker, is ready to teach you how. Native to Barbados, Chef Timothy joined Sandy Lane seven years ago under the tutelage of the then Chef Mel Rumbles. His accomplishments include the Taste of Barbados at the James Beard Foundation, sometimes known as the stepping stone to some of the world's most famous chefs. Prior to joining the Sandy Lane, he not only worked at the Waldorff Astoria, but was Sous Chef at the Baku Restaurant in the Carenage Hotel on St. Vincent. He was Executive Chef at the Fat Bay Restaurant in the British Virgin Islands. And was the Executive Chef for the US Ambassador to Barbados, Mr. William Crotty. While you are
with Chef Timothy, you will learn how to prepare some of Barbados
and the Caribbean's most popular dishes. Some of these include Bajan
Fish Cakes, Blackened Fish, Cou Cou and Jerk Chicken. So this is
your chance to cook your own dish with the Chef's supervision, but
don't burn it, you will eat what you prepare for lunch! Suggested attire: casual |
