From October 22 – 25, 2009, The St. Kitts Marriott Resort & The Royal Beach Casino will offer guests the chance to participate in the First Annual St. Kitts Golf Tournament, which will be held at the resort’s award-winning golf course.
The First Annual St. Kitts Golf Tournament festivities will take place over the course of three days, commencing with a Thursday night happy hour gathering featuring live Caribbean entertainment and authentic cuisine specially prepared by the resort’s culinary team. A Friday practice round will pave the way for Saturday’s main competition; tee-times will be available throughout the day and may be booked through the golf course.
Tournament rates start at $119 for single participation, and $129 for double participation. Rates include a three-night stay in a resort view room, daily green fees, golf cart, breakfast each morning, lunch each afternoon, awards reception, and $20 in casino offers at the onsite Royal Beach Casino. Pre and post-event discounted rates are also available, allowing guests to extend their stays and explore the beautiful island of St. Kitts.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for a quick getaway or an extended vacation,” said General Manager Flor van der Vaart. “For less than the normal cost of our daily green fees, guests will receive luxurious accommodations, top notch cuisine, and the chance to participate in this exciting event – all with our amazing island as a backdrop.”
“The Royal St. Kitts Golf Club is home to the top-rated course in the Caribbean,” continued Golf Director Sean Gradomski. “This tournament will allow our guests to discover its breathtaking views and remarkable features, firsthand.”
Featuring an 18-hole, 71-par championship “links”-style course, with holes on both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club is truly a golf-lover’s paradise. The course features 83 sand bunkers, 12 lakes, wide fairways and large putting greens. Recently remodeled by renowned Canadian architect Thomas McBroom to highlight St. Kitts’ natural terrain, the course showcases the island’s native wildlife, which includes lizards, egrets, and monkeys, along with dramatic views of the sea and neighboring islands.
