The Course at CuisinArt Golf Resort & Spa
CuisinArt Golf Club provides the ultimate golf experience in the Caribbean – a Greg Norman Signature Design 18-Hole Championship Course with breathtaking views and challenging, dramatic holes.
In planning the course, signi cant environmental e orts were undertaken to preserve and to enhance the island’s natural habitats. Most signi cant was the renewal of Merrywing Salt Pond, an island landmark. Featured predominantly in the course, the pond’s water has been reinvigorated, giving rebirth to its natural organisms. New ushing channels permit seawater to ow out of the pond during high tide.
Players are greeted at the starting hole of this 7,063-yard championship course by spectacular views of St. Maarten and the Caribbean Sea, and the overwhelming visual appeal continues.
Some of its signature holes include:
• 1st hole: A spectacular vista of St. Maarten and the Caribbean Sea awaits players at the tee box of the 390-yard starting hole. The fairway descends over 40 feet to a narrow, two-tiered green sitting pre- cariously on the edge of a saltwater lagoon. Robb Report called this rst hole “The Caribbean’s answer to the 18th at Pebble Beach.”
• 2nd and 10th holes: Holes two and ten share a 16,000 square foot green that rests along the Anguilla Channel.
• 16th hole: Large seagrape trees on the left and the Merrywing pond on the right frame the perilous drive on the 440-yard 16th hole that plays into the tradewinds and ends with an elevated green sur- rounded by water and protected by deep bunkers.
• 18th hole: The drive for the nishing hole runs along the edge of a mangrove thicket in a vast stretch of salt marsh that winds through eight other course holes. The narrowing fairway ascends forty feet through rugged terrain to a narrow green carved out of native shrub.
