Mount Irvine Golf Club, Tobago

The Leeward Golf Association was initiated in 1989.

The Mt Irvine Bay Golf Club has been generously offered as the home course of the Leeward Golf Association. The Mount Irvine Bay Golf Course is an award-winning, championship quality 18-hole course with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, carved out from the grounds of an old coconut plantation.

The course was designed by the late Commander John D. Harris, who designed more than 30 golf courses, and this course is considered to be one of his finest. It is regarded as one of the premier golf courses in the Caribbean. There are sea views from every hole of the Caribbean Sea. The sharp, dog-legged, hole 9 is played from an elevated tee, showing all the hazards. The 5 par-3 holes are very challenging; only two are less than 200 yards. The course has a subterranean irrigation network.

Established in 1968, the course is set within gently rolling countryside along the north coast of Tobago, with a view of the sea from every hole and an abundance of massive coconut palm trees.

Awards

The Mount Irvine Bay Hotel and Golf Club was voted the Caribbean Golf Resort of 1994 by the readers of the award-winning Lifestyle & Travel Magazine “Caribbean World” in association with the “Travel Weekly” magazine of the United Kingdom. The award was presented
by well-known Trinidadian broadcaster with BBC TV, Mr Trevor McDonald, and received by Mrs Pamela Jenkinson on behalf of the hotel.

Course Records

The Course record of 65 is currently held by British Pro, Roger Chapman, and the Ladies’ Record of 69 by Julie Greenhaigh.

Major Tournaments

The Tobago Golf Club was selected in 1969 to host one of the tournaments in the famous film and TV series “Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf”. It has also hosted the Johnnie Walker International Pro-Am.
