Golf: Tobago Plantations Golf Club
A detailed guide to Tobago's newest and most interesting golf course
Tobago Plantations Golf & Country Club, to give it its full title, is an exiting new golf course, located on the 750-acre Lowlands Estate. Previously a sugar cane plantation, this estate is being developed into a major tourist resort, incorporating the VHL Tobago Golf & Spa Resort hotel (previously the Hilton Tobago), luxury villas and condominiums, bungalows and water sports facilities.
The flat terrain of the old plantation has been sensitively planned around the mature trees and landscape features. Designed by a British golf course designer, the trade winds from the adjacent Atlantic Ocean help to give this 7,000 yard course a distinct links feel. Some holes follow the coastline. Other, in stark contrast, weave their way through mature palm trees and mangroves. The artificial lakes and wetlands are rapidly becoming an important and significant habitat and breeding ground for migratory ducks and birds.
A 9-Hole Sugar Mill course, more suited to novices, is planned. As of mid-2008, work had not started. However, the practise range is in full operation and very well spoken of, with top quality range balls, practise tee decks and a large putting green and target green complete with a practise bunker. Golfers interested in seeing world-class players without the crowds of so many tournaments should plan their Tobago holiday for late February when the European Senior tournament is played at the Tobago Plantations Golf Course.
