Rating 75.6

The golf course at the Aurora International Golf Club (formerly known as Temenos Golf Club and CuisinArt Golf Club) was the first 18-hole championship course in Anguilla's and it continues to be a popular course for golfers of all skill levels. This Greg Norman design features panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. The opening hole is notably picturesque, offering a spectacular view of the nearby St. Maarten. The rugged terrain of Aurora International Golf Club features dramatic elevation changes and natural water hazards, including ponds and saltwater lagoons that come into play on 13 holes. The fairways are generous but there are large, shallow bunkers for some challenge. Sand dunes and strong trade winds also add some difficulty to the course.

Immaculate but overpriced and forgettable.

It's tough to give a mediocre review to a course that was in such perfect condition, but the entire package warrants it. Pro shop was well stocked and ladies checking you in were friendly. I was renting clubs, which were practically new Taylormade Stealth woods and irons. Really nice range and putting green, also a big chipping and sand practice area. No starter that I saw, I warmed up and headed for the first hole at my own pace. I played alone on a very breezy day and got the impression those were the prevailing conditions due to how flat the island is. Didn't see another group until my last five holes, when the group ahead brought me to a crawl for the home stretch. The course condition was pristine, there were actually workers pulling individual weeds from some of the tees with oversized tweezers. All in all, I saw more workers than other players during the round. Now for the negatives. Unfortunately, the layout was really forgettable. I was told it was redesigned by Greg Norman in 2021, but I can't recall a single hole that was impressive or even picturesque in the least, just blah, which is tough to pull off surrounded by the Caribbean. To compound the issue It's the only course on the island so the price is badly inflated. Unless money is no issue, I'd give it a hard pass and enjoy the beach instead.

A new era for golf on Anguilla

This golf course has been around since 2006, but a renovation by Greg Norman's team in 2021 has it prepared for a new era of prosperity. The resort's new owner wants the conditions to be like "Augusta" and has the means to get it there. Once the fairways grow in, this place will be incredible. Teams walk every hole every day removing any weed they see. That's the level of dedication to mint conditions. Playing on grand opening weekend, it's already in very good condition. The first and 10 holes run parallel to one another - separated by a waste area - with both elevated tees overlooking the Caribbean and St. Maarten. The coral limestone rock walls frame all the water hazards nicely, adding another touch of class. The clubhouse might be the most impressive in all the Caribbean. It transforms into a high-end steakhouse by night. All the improvements and upgrades have Aurora Anguilla ready to challenge for supremacy in the Caribbean.
