The Caribbean has always been a popular destination for golfers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Offering the chance to practice their sport, sometimes with crystal-clear waters as a backdrop, the French West Indies are a great option for a dream golf vacation. <\/p>\n\n

With the exception of St Barts, which is an island of 25 square kilometers with a somewhat bumpy geography, you can play golf in Guadeloupe, Martinique and Saint Martin.<\/p>\n\n

So get your golf clubs ready for your next trip to the French West Indies<\/a> and discover the pleasure of playing golf under the tropical sun!<\/p>\n\n

St Martin : Golf Mullet Bay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Located on Mullet<\/em> Bay beach on the Dutch side of the island, this 18-hole par 70 course is a magnificent setting for golfers.<\/p>\n\n

In 1990, a small group of passionate golfers founded the Sint Maarten<\/a> Golf Association <\/em>with over 130 players. The aim was to make their golfing experience more meaningful and to promote the sport on the island. <\/p>\n\n

Golfers on the French side of the island followed their example and in 2005 founded the Tamarins Golf Association <\/strong>(founder: Hockins Seguelha).<\/p>\n\n

The main objective was to enable the Mullet Bay Golf Course<\/em> to be validated and to organize official competitions and qualify their handicap by the FFG.<\/p>\n\n
