Apes Hill Barbados has announced that it is set to open its new par-3 course, ‘Little Apes’, in December.
Perfect for introducing players to the game of golf, Little Apes invites guests of all ages to explore nine unique holes with breathtaking views across Barbados and out to sea.
Holes range from as little as 70 yards to a maximum of just 154, meaning even the most inexperienced players can ease around the course with just a wedge and a putter.
With an estimated playing time of just one hour for a fourball, experienced golfers can also take to the new course to hone their short game before a round on Ron Kirby’s flagship 18-hole layout.
The announcement follows last year’s opening of Apes Hill’s ‘19th hole’, an island green-style challenge inspired by the famous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass and its many tributes around the world. Ideal for settling any tied matches on either course, the hole was given the stamp of approval by golf legend – and Apes Hill ambassador – Ian Woosnam shortly after opening.
Jody Addison, Director of Golf at Apes Hill Barbados, said: “From the outset, the vision at Apes Hill has always been to create an enjoyable and memorable golfing experience where you can feel at home no matter your skill level, age or how long you have been playing the game.
“Ron Kirby embodied that philosophy with his redesign of our championship course and it is an ethos that we have carried into Little Apes, which we believe will provide endless fun for young children and the whole family in equal measure.
“In many ways it is like a bite-sized version of our 18-hole course, and we can’t wait to see everyone enjoying it from December.”
