Back in the mid-1990s a keen golfer arrived on St Lucia’s Cap Estate. As soon as he saw the nine-hole golf course he just knew that there was potential to build something really special.

Hole in one

Golfers have one huge advantage over most other sports enthusiasts; while football and cricket fans can only dream of playing in their favourite stadia, golfers can literally follow in the footsteps of the top pros. With a score card to play against, golfers can imagine they’re a hole behind their heroes, measuring their game up, stroke by stroke, even though they know they’ll come in second place every time.

It’s unsurprisingly, therefore, that golf resorts are bo...
