Like no other course in the world, Tobago Plantations Golf and Country Club has been designed to be Tobago and reflects its glorious Caribbean atmosphere.
The flat terrain has been sensitively modified to utilize indigenous plants and increase the habitat diversity for wildlife. Within this setting, the Plantations Course has been planned around the mature trees and landscape features.
The resulting course of just over 7000 yards has a distinct Links feel on many of the holes, thus the decision to use a British Golf Course designer. There are characteristic pot bunkers sunk into the greensides, such as on the 3rd hole, a Par 4 beauty that goes out onto the peninsula to enjoy panoramic views of Scarborough, the capital of Tobago, and the adjacent Atlantic Ocean.
In stark contrast to the coastline holes, others weave their way through mature Palm Trees and surrounding Mangroves. Truly, Tobago with even a sugar mill behind the beautiful par 3 17th green.
Artificial lakes and wetlands have been created and developed to regenerate nature. These are fast becoming a home and breeding ground for migratory ducks and birds. With such a wonderful combination of golf holes and wildlife you really feel that you are "Part of Paradise".
The course at Lowlands is very different to most of the courses in the Caribbean. It has been woven into the landscape of an old coconut plantation, which extends through a xerophytic area out to the sea.
The landscape varies greatly throughout the course with lakes, woodland copses, beaches, mangrove and wild grasses providing each hole with a very distinctive character.
The course has been designed as a good test of the game for golfers of all levels, but will require the golfer to have some experience of the game. Novices will be better suited to the Sugar Mill course to be ready in 2002.
It is a highly enjoyable experience for all those who are prepared to match their skills against Plantations Course at Tobago Plantations Golf and Country Club.
