The Links at SafeHaven, Grand Cayman

The Links Grand Cayman Golf at SafeHaven has been designed to compliment the existing Caymanian terrain, taking into full account the natural obstacles of prevailing ocean breezes, narrow fairways and abundance of water and sand. This 6605-yard par 71 course was designed in 1994 by Roy Case and is set against the North Sound, making for both interesting play and panoramic vistas of the Caribbean Sea. Located on West Bay Road, close to the famous Seven-Mile Beach waters, a round of golf on The Links is a must for avid golf fans or the amateur looking to spend a day of leisure on the island.

The Grand Cayman golf course requires strategic placements of every shot on each hole as the strong Cayman trade winds are continuously in play. The architectural layout of the course makes for an interesting arrangement of holes, and with five tee box positions there is ample opportunity for players of all levels of expertise to enjoy the pleasures of golfing this beautiful course.

This Grand Cayman golf course was designed to the rigid specifications of the USGA (rating 75.1) and the greens are of very high standards and are on average 5000 square feet, providing ample landing space. The fairway target areas are approximately 70 yards wide with ample lead-in contours to the greens.

As the trade winds substantially affect the nature of the game at The Links, the yardage equates more to a 7,000 yard course in calmer climates. The Cayman Island golf course is laid out in a long intertwining string of holes that either play directly into, or follow the wind.

In keeping with the Scottish heritage from which The Links derives its name, the course is characterized by mildly undulating landscapes and wide-open spaces; the rough sporting long, heather-like grasses. The coastal property has been left as close to its natural state as possible, making a home for numerous species of wild birds and exotic tropical flora. The collection of shade trees and shrubs include mahogany, cordia, maho, thatch and coconut palms.

Visitors to the Grand Cayman Islands Links at SafeHaven Golf Club can also avail of the full-service amenities including the clubhouse (an open-air bar), practice facilities including an aqua driving range, putting greens, chipping and bunker areas, changing rooms and a golf centre for the latest in golf fashions, accessories and equipment. A full service food and beverage cart continually circulates the course providing sandwiches, snacks and drinks to make the day most enjoyable.
