Nestled in the heart of Barbados, Apes Hill Barbados has become more than just a luxury golf resort for Alyssa, one of our newer members who swapped the skyline of Minneapolis for the rolling greens of Apes Hill. Her story is one of unexpected connections, breathtaking discoveries, and a golf course that's as much a spiritual journey as it is a game.
Alyssa says that for her, our resort is really an oasis, "it was a place where I connected truly to myself, to nature, and to God. To me it’s a very spiritual piece of land.”
As an experienced golfer, Alyssa found herself captivated by the dual personalities of our championship course. The front nine, with its stunning vistas overlooking the Caribbean Sea, offers a gentle embrace to start your round. But it's the back nine that truly stole her heart, winding along the rugged east coast like a siren's call to adventure.
It's not just the views that have captured Alyssa’s heart. Our state-of-the-art Performance Centre has become her game-enhancing advantage, with coach (and PGA professional) Jody Addison using the cutting-edge technology at the centre to break down her swing frame by frame. “Jody himself is also just a really personable professional to work with and so he gives you tips that you can take immediately into the golf course.”
When speaking about our par 71 championship course and it’s unique holes, Alyssa confides "my favourite hole is number 12. It's the first hole that you really have glimpses of both the west coast and then you have this dramatic view of the rugged east coast.” Our elevated location offers an unmatched perspective of Barbados for our members, showcasing the island’s remarkable diversity.
What truly sets Apes Hill Barbados apart, in Alyssa's eyes, is our commitment to sustainability. "It’s one of the few golf communities I’ve seen that really invested in that and that wants to take care of the natural surrounding and preserve that, and allow many different generations to come to enjoy that.”
Weaving sustainability into every corner of Apes Hill, from eco-friendly villas to farm-grown produce, is our way of ensuring this land endures for generations.
For Alyssa, Apes Hill isn't just a new home or a fancy golf club. It's a place where every day feels like a perfect round. Where luxury doesn't mean losing touch with what matters. Where every sunrise over the fairway reminds her that sometimes, the best journeys lead us right where we need to be.
