Included alongside iconic destinations across the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe and the South Pacific, Apes Hill is highlighted for the impact of its Ron Kirby-led redesign and its elevated position high above Barbados’ west coast. The near-7,000-yard Championship course is described as trundling through tropical forest some 1,000 feet above sea level, delivering expansive views across both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

The feature draws parallels between Apes Hill and Kirby’s renowned Old Head Golf Links in Ireland, positioning the resort within a global conversation around golf courses where landscape plays a defining role in the experience. This sense of drama and visual impact is presented as central to Apes Hill’s appeal.
Kingdom Golf Magazine also references Apes Hill’s evolution into a private residential community with a boutique resort offering, where guests can stay in a selection of villas made available through an owner rental pool, blending privacy, design and lifestyle into the wider golfing experience.
By appearing in The Playlist: Beyond, Apes Hill is positioned among a carefully curated group of golf destinations chosen not only for course quality, but for atmosphere, setting and visual distinction.
