Great views, nice track.

Played 18 this week. Staff was great. Course was quite and beautiful. Multiple sets of tees, not overly challenging from the back tees but good shots required. Pricey, but as expected.

Another Pete Dye Masterwork

I've been playing golf longer than I care to remember and at courses around the world I do care to remember. Among golf architects, Pete Dye has always been my favourite, although I know others who abhor his signature railroad ties and the difficulty of...More

First time playing by myself

I hate to play alone, but could not miss the only time I had off and enjoy this course, which is the best one on the island. I had the third eagle of my career.

Cruising into Curacao and I want to Golf Old Quarry (1 Replies)

We're cruising into Curacao and we want to golf at Old Quarry Golf course at Santa Barbara resort. The cruiseline isn't offering it due the the 2pm arrival time. How long does it take to get there? Are there taxis at the port? What does it cost?

June 22, 2013|

Response fromnick d|

It's probably a 45 minute drive to get there not counting how long it take to get a cab. Getting a cab for the return trip from the golf course will definitely take longer since they don't hang around there. It is a nice course and never crowded. No waiting for players holding things up and tee times are usually readily available.
