A great surprise in Cuba!

This was our first time in Cuba and we found only a handful of golf courses there. Varadero is a beach resort located about a 2 hr drive east of Havana.

We stayed at the Melia las Americas. This is an all-inclusive resort which also includes the green fees to this course. However, the $60 cart fee is not included and is cash only. One word of advice, if you want an early tee time, you have to book through the golf concierge at the hotel the day before from 9am-5pm. You cannot call and book through the pro shop. We found that if you try to book something outside of the concierge hours, no one else will help you.

There is practice area that includes a driving range, putting and chipping area. They also have plenty of Taylormade rental sets for both men and women which are included in the green fees. We took our own clubs and had no issues with transporting them around the Caribbean.

We’ve played a lot of golf all over. This course at first glance looks like a muni course anywhere in America. The greens are rough and the bunkers were a little hard. However, the layout has a great back 9 with some challenging holes and gorgeous ocean views from the 9th and 18th holes. There was only 1 other single playing the same day we were so we finished really fast. The 16th-18th holes are a great ending. The finishing 18th is one of the best and most memorable we’ve ever played.

It was more than what we expected and we would definitely play it again.

Dear Golfer,
Thank you very much for your comments about the layout with a great back 9 with some challenging holes and gorgeous ocean views from the 9th and 18th holes and the great ending of 16th-18th holes!
Thanks also for your opinion regarding the finishing 18th as one of the best and most memorable you have ever played!
I would like to make clear that the price of golf cart is 33.00 CUC per client per day and golf clubs are 22.00 CUC per client per day. You can also pay credit card Visa and MasterCard but never fron an American Bank´s Branch.The use of golf cart is mandatory for the course. Clients can also bring their own clubs. We also have storage but you should pay for bag tack, its cost is 5.50 CUC. Bag Tack is a distinctive badge, if you get one, once you have paid this fee, it is good no matter how many times you return to Varadero Golf Club.
