mr.hicksta Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm tagging along to the Bahamas with the wife in June and since she'll be working some of the time, I'll be fooling around playing golf. We're going to be in Nassau so here's where I'm playing: Royal Blue Golf Course at Baha Mar - https://bahamar.com/experiences/golf/ I haven't seen much about the course aside from some light Googling, so I created this thread to get some feedback and to see if I missed a course worth playing! I'll use this thread to toss up some pics when I'm on both courses. I appreciate any and all thoughts!

PMookie Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 About five years ago, this of us who won the yearly sales award were scheduled to go to Baha Mar just after it’s official opening. We were STOKED! We had been on a similar trip to Atlantis, so this was going to be fun comparing the two properties.Well, then the Zika Virus scare hits, and the trip was canceled. We got La Quinta Resort in Cali instead...... Ugh.I’m jealous of whomever goes to Baha Mar! I’d have loved to have seen that place.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro mr.hicksta and tony@CIC 2 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.hicksta Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Before I do the photo dump, I’ll say overall this was a solid course and it was one of the better Nicklaus designs I’ve played. There was one weather delay, but it was quick. The humidity was a beast though and I was covered in sweat after one hole. I’m definitely spoiled as I’ve played better courses, but I’m glad I took advantage and played it. Enjoy the pics!

What was more impressive was how dry the course was because it was pouring for a couple hours yesterday.
