Golf Course - Treasure Cay, Abaco
The Bahamas
 

The Treasure Cay Golf Course was designed by Dick Wilson, one of America's most renowned golf course architects, with several classic   courses consistently ranked in "Golf Digest's Top 100". The best known might be the Doral "Blue Monster" in Miami.  Treasure Cay was among the last courses that Wilson designed but unfortunately he died before the course was finished in 1968. His assistant, Joe Lee, completed the work and went on himself to become a famous golf course architect.

The course is carved out of the woods on a generous tract of land so there is no interference from adjacent fairways. Measuring 6985 yards from the blue tees and with 60 strategically placed sand bunkers, it challenges even the best players. Natural terrain and undulations along with imaginative contouring provide subtleties which will make you want to play it more than once.

An excellent irrigation system is in place drawing water from two fresh water ponds on the property. The capable and friendly staff under Superintendent Steve Pedican do a great job of keeping the course in top condition year round.

A Warning About Poisonwood In The Surrounding Woods

One threat that we should warn you about if you are to visit Treasure Cay, and that is Poisonwood. It is a bush or tree that is prevalent in Florida and The West Indies. It is not located in any built up area such as our villa area. It is located in wooded areas along the roadside and in the woods of some areas of the golf course. It is similar to Poison Ivy and Poison Oak and it can give a very uncomfortable rash. We feel it is important that everyone who comes here knows about it so that it can be avoided. Hence the following pictures.
