New Caribbean resort golf course now open to public
The Resort and Spa at Pristine Bay—a highly-anticipated, five-star luxury destination off the Caribbean coast of Honduras—announces that its golf course, The Black Pearl, is now open for public play.
Nestled on the unique island of Roatan, Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the 72-par, 7,179-yard layout overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Meso-American Barrier Reef. The course, created by famous golf course designers Pete and Perry Dye, starts at the ocean’s doorstep and rises into the island’s rolling foothills before taking golfers on a wild ride back to the seaside clubhouse.
“The anticipation is over and The Black Pearl is ready to take its place among the Caribbean’s ‘must play’ golf courses,” says Mario Toriello, vice president of sales and marketing for Pristine Bay Resort. “The Dyes skillfully routed it through tumbling terrain, showcasing both the shot values that have made their designs famous and the island’s stunning natural aesthetics.”
The 157-yard, island-green, par-3 11th is perhaps The Black Pearl’s most notable hole. From the elevated tee, players enjoy exceptional golf course and sea vistas. The green sits in the middle of a lake and is ringed by a narrow bunker to give slightly awry shots a chance of remaining dry. With the ever-present trade wins, proper club selection is key to avoiding a big number on the scorecard.
Roatan has become an increasingly popular destination on Caribbean cruise itineraries. The course opened Dec. 1 exclusively for Carnival and Royal Caribbean passengers. Additionally, both the Sky Lounge and 19th Hole restaurants are open to enjoy before and after a round.
“The Black Pearl is a true jewel of the Caribbean,” says Toriello. “Pristine Bay and Roatan are ready to welcome visitors seeking our tropical weather and first-class service.”
