Going in March, which golf courses do you recommend?

**Weazl** · 01-24-2014 11:35 AM

I was there last year and didn't golf, going back next year so let me know.

where are you staying? My brother in laws friend owns a place down there...

**big mac** · 01-24-2014 12:34 PM

I'm pretty sure there is only one---Provo is not a huge island but the scuba diving and snorkeling is out of this world. If you are around Turtle Cove you actually only need fins and mask. It has been years since I was there and it has come a long long way. Good beaches and great food.

The funniest thing I saw was a sign saying---"WATCH FOR LOW AIRCRAFT" while the road crossed the runway !!!!!

Enjoy

Near the airport in Providenciales. Relative has a place there.

Agreed Big Mac, pictures I've seen so far are out of this world!

Believe it or not---I could have bought a lot on the water in a protected cove for 50,000.00---from what I hear now it would be 5,000.000.00. At that time money was tight but if I had of only known.

The ex mayor of Chelsea (Jim Brown) was and maybe still is involved with developing the island. The fellow that owned Ormes Bakery in Wakefield built a small hotel/rest/bakery and the folks that owned Canada Goose---the gift shop on Sparks Street are also there along with number "99"---maybe you might run into Dustin Johnson

I snorkelled all over the island last year in and around Grace Bay and by Beaches Turcs & Caicos. It was spectacular and I heard the diving was even better.

Based on the pictures and reviews, I am leaning towards not bringing the golf clubs. It's the only golf course on the island and they charge $160 for 18 holes. I think I'll use that money on scuba diving instead.

I think that is a good decision. Do you have your PADI certification for diving ? If not---don't worry, pick up a mask and fins at home rather than renting down there. You really don't need to go deep to see all the beauty.

Don't wear any jewelry while diving---the Barracuda love it and I am not kidding. We did not see anything dangerous---lots of nurse sharks and sand rays and they are harmless.

If you have never snorkeled in the Caribbean before---get set to have your mind blown

**nokids** · 03-14-2014 10:22 AM

**Kilroy** · 03-14-2014 10:24 AM

Hot and humid with a chance of afternoon thundershowers.
You suck.
