Varadero golf destination – Caribbean flair meets golfing pleasure

Varadero is not only one of Cuba’s most famous beach resorts, but also the island’s golf destination – a real highlight for golfers looking for sun, sea and sporting variety in an exotic setting. With its perfect blend of tropical climate, miles of white sandy beaches and Caribbean serenity, Varadero offers the ideal backdrop for a relaxing yet challenging golf holiday.

Golfing in Varadero: The Varadero Golf Club

The heart of the golf destination is the Varadero Golf Club, Cuba’s only 18-hole golf course. Designed by renowned architect Les Furber, the course stretches picturesquely along the Hicacos Peninsula – with spectacular views of the ocean, palm-lined fairways and challenging water hazards.

The par-72 course is varied, with a combination of open, wind-swept holes along the coast and fairways that require precision play inland. For golfers of all abilities, the course offers both playing appeal and scenic beauty – a real Caribbean gem.

Special highlights:

Hole 8: A par 3 with an island green and panoramic sea views – a picture-perfect photo opportunity.

Hole 18: A challenging final hole along the coast, requiring tactics and concentration.

Driving range, putting green and a well-equipped clubhouse with restaurant, pro shop and terrace with sea views.

The Varadero golf region is known for its golfer-friendly hotels. Particularly noteworthy is the Meliá Las Américas, located directly on the golf course, which is the only hotel in Varadero to offer direct access to the golf course – perfect for golfers who want to tee off straight after breakfast.
