This glorious course is located just 5 miles, or 15 minutes drive, away from Crown Point International Airport, Tobago. The Mount Irvine Bay lies on the north-western coast of the island, looking out to the calm blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

General Course Description

The Mount Irvine Bay Golf Course is an award-winning, championship quality 18-hole course with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, carved out from the grounds of an old coconut plantation. The course was designed by the late Commander John D. Harris and, considered to be his finest, it is regarded as one of the premier golf courses in the Caribbean. Established in 1968, the course is set within gently rolling countryside along the north coast of Tobago, with a view of the sea from every hole and an abundance of massive coconut palm trees.
