14th is now set up a a par 3...... as are the 13th and 15th.
Disappointing!

Given the number of Canadian visitors to Cuba, we have had this little gem to ourselves for years. Canada never had any embargo against Cuba and Canadians are free to travel there.
Varadero Golf Club
This course heads in land first, then through salt marshes and ends along the cliffs overlooking the Caribbean. You can see the turquoise sea from 4- 5 holes. Water on another 4-5 holes. Refreshments cart and really great a staff.
We played 5 rounds over our 7 day visit. "Alex" picked us at the gate to course adjoining our hotel, in a stretch golf cart up every morning at 800am. He brought us back after every round as well.
Conditions are average to good (like a muni....with turquoise water and a sea breeze). Greens OK and some interesting holes. Greens fees were included in our package, but paid $30. cart fee per player. Golf carts are like Cuban cars, kept running with ingenuity. It was fun buying Pro Vs from the grounds staff..."pssst pssst wanna Pro Vs"
We encouraged them and were generous, a few bucks goes along way for the folks.
With US tourism coming to the island, more courses will surely be built. In the meantime this is a little gem.
I am heading back before Christmas for a week.
