Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, everyone is welcome. We are a resort golf course open to members, visitors and resort guests alike, so you don’t need to be a member or staying at a particular hotel to play.

Yes. Royal Turks & Caicos Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course on Grace Bay Road in Providenciales, a short drive from most Grace Bay resorts and villas.

You can book up to 120 days in advance. Book online, email proshop@rtcgc.com or call reservations on 1-877-218-9124.

The Golf Shop opens at 6.30am daily. Our first tee times are usually for singles and twosomes, but call us if you’d like an early start. Threesomes and foursomes can book from 7.30am.

#19 Bar & Restaurant opens at 6.30am, with food served from 7.15am.

Green fees include your golf cart. You’ll find current green fees, rental club prices and our multi-round passes on our Golf Rates page.

Named after our Course Ambassador, David Feherty, it’s our afternoon offer, available after 1.30pm during the winter season. Choose green fee and golf cart for $225, or add premium Titleist rental clubs and a sleeve of Titleist Pro V1 balls for $290. Travelling without clubs? Just bring your shoes!

We aim to get you round in four hours, and a four-ball should finish within four and a half. Our course marshals are out on the course to help keep play moving at a comfortable pace, so everyone can enjoy their round.

No, you don’t need a handicap. We do ask that golfers have a little experience, so you can enjoy your round and keep up with the pace of play.

Unfortunately not. Groups are limited to four players.

Absolutely. Whether you’re planning a corporate day, a tournament or simply getting a group of friends together, we’d love to help make it happen. Get in touch in advance and we’ll take care of tee time arrangements, catering and anything else you need. Contact Dave at dave@rtcgc.com to start planning.

We may pair players into threesomes and foursomes when needed, so we can make the best use of the tee sheet and our cart fleet.

Local restrictions mean we can’t run a shuttle, but getting here is easy. Your hotel can arrange a taxi, and most major resorts are a 5 to 15 minute drive away. Our golf and restaurant team will happily call you a taxi back.

There is no golf course on Grand Turk, and if you’re only in port for the day, it isn’t possible to reach us. Getting to the club means a 40-minute flight to Providenciales followed by a taxi ride. We’re sorry to miss you this time and hope to welcome you on a future visit to Providenciales.

The whole course is turfed with Platinum Paspalum, a fine, salt-tolerant grass that suits our Caribbean climate.

Book an early tee time to enjoy the cooler part of the day.

Drink water little and often, and look out for the beverage cart from 7.30am.

Wear sunscreen, a hat and light, breathable clothing.

Use the shade of your cart between shots.

Please help us keep the course in top condition.

Ball marks: push a repair tool in around the edge of the mark and ease the turf gently towards the centre, then tap it flat with your putter. Don’t lift the centre.

Divots: fill the hole with sand and smooth it level with your foot.

The course is home to plenty of wildlife, but for safety we can’t allow birdwatchers on the course.

If the course closes because of bad weather, you’re welcome to wait it out at the club. Grab a drink or a bite at #19, and if the course reopens, you can finish your round. If it doesn’t reopen, you’ll receive a rain check (credit towards a future round) based on how many holes you’ve played:

0 to 6 holes: 100% rain check
7 to 14 holes: 50% rain check
15 to 18 holes: no rain check, as the round is considered complete

Men’s: steel shaft stiff flex, steel shaft regular flex or graphite shaft senior flex
