Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla
Aurora International Golf Club brings Greg Norman’s design vision to vivid life on Anguilla’s sun-soaked coastline. Recently remastered for spectacular sight lines and pristine playability, this resort stunner is a regional must-play for adventurous golfers seeking panoramic ocean holes and a one-of-a-kind Caribbean vibe.
Aurora International Golf Club showcases Greg Norman’s vision for championship-caliber, visually stunning Caribbean golf. The post-2021 revival re-centered the course on open sea vistas and natural lagoon drama, with wider corridors, reconstructed greens and tees, and an updated palette of bunkering to heighten strategic interest. Smooth, regrassed playing surfaces and expanded putting zones add playability, while the wind and water hazards keep scoring honest. It’s a modern resort design with roots in classic shot values, capped by unforgettable ocean backdrops.
Greg Norman, with senior designer Jason McCoy, led both the original build and the 2021 remastering, explicitly opening up sea views and emphasizing sustainable, playable, and visually memorable design.
An elevated opening tee sets the stage, offering panoramic views of Saint Martin and glistening Caribbean waters. A gentle dogleg and generous fairway invite an aggressive or conservative start, but swirling breezes and a subtly angled green demand attention.
Favor placement over brute force; play for preferred wedge angle rather than maximizing distance.
Wind can exaggerate hooks or pushes; stray left risks tangled rough and a poor approach angle.
Superbly groomed, new Bermuda turf with crisp bunkers and true TifEagle greens; annual aerification may temporarily affect play.
Relaxed, with attentive resort-staff pacing and friendly locals; rarely overcrowded.
Upscale Caribbean resort—easygoing, inviting, and spectacularly scenic.
Standard golf attire expected; collared shirts and tailored shorts or pants.
Lightweight, breathable apparel plus a wide-brim cap and sunscreen; expect both gusts and UV intensity.
High-quality rentals are available, but avid players may prefer to travel with their full set to tackle the course’s length and unique demands.
With Caribbean heat and occasional humidity, start hydrated and keep water handy throughout the round.
Wind and elevation demand extra attention to club selection—bring your GPS or rangefinder.
