The Chaguaramas
Golf Course is located at the base of Edith Falls, a spectacular and
dramatic three fingered water fall that is a dramatic landmark in the
rainy season (June - December).
The golf
course was built by American servicemen during their occupation of the
Chaguaramas peninsula in World War II. Built on 39 hectares, this unique
Par 67, 5,646-yard golf course has nine holes and 18 T Boxes tucked
away in alcoves of towering bamboo. The greens are generally small,
well protected and can be tricky targets, but they are true and well
maintained.
The course, from the second to the sixth hole, was built on Macqueripe
Estate Tonka bean plantation. Some trees remain that are well over a
hundred years old. When in bloom (July-August), the purple flowers present
an unforgettable sight. High handicappers and novices can take heart
from generous fairways and an absence of a punishing rough. The length
of play is on average one hour and forty-five minutes.
The Chaguaramas
Golf Course welcomes visiting golfers by extending a Special Membership
that entitles you to 20 balls on our 250 foot long driving range and
refreshment in the Club House at the end of your round of golf. Even
if nature intervenes as it often does in the tropics, the Chaguaramas
Golf Course, because of its excellent drainage, has the distinction
of being one of those courses on which play can be resumed within a
short while after a heavy downpour.
Planned:
expansion to an 18-hole course.
