Cab fare from cruise ship on 1-22-12 was 8.00 each one way. 30 min trip. Cab returned at requested time. This beach is open to the public but is located in front of Castaway Restaurant and bar which is a part of private condos and time shares. Two lounge chairs plus umbrella was $10. for the day. No vendors walking... More

We stayed at the resort 12/18/11 thru 12/25/11. I agree with one of the previous reviewers. . .it is not a safe resort. There are guys hanging around the beach drinking and doing nothing. Security was a joke. It didn't feel safe. The accommodations were bad. . . old sheets that wouldn't stay on the bed. . .beaded up sheets... More

Antigua is a dangerous place my wife was raped at knifepoint at jolley harbour, it has 24 hour security but anyone can pretty much walk around unchallenged especially locals that hang around the boats for money, jobs,opportunities unfortunately drugs are part of the equation as well and with an understaffed and complacent police force there isnt much justice i still...

We played the course July, 2010. The price for fees & cart was only $50 or so. BRING YOUR OWN BALLS & TEES! The pro shop had run out! They told us the course was in the process of changing owners so the old owners had stopped re-stocking many supplies. The course is short, only 5,500 yards. The presence of... More

The Jolly Harbour Golf Club is open for business. All 18 holes are open and the redesign/redevelopment has been put on hold. There are golf tees in stock and the improvement/maintenance of the course is on going. The golf restaurant area has recently been updated and includes a lounge. The only issue is getting past the 15th hole without hurting... More

December 1 - 14, 2008 The easiest course to get on to play (just walk on)...on both days I palyed I saw only three golfers on the course other than us two. However be prepared for less than a good golf course. Don't ever make this a destination type day to play golf. I would say the fairways and greens... More

We spent 7 days on the beautiful island of Antigua in January, 2008. Stayed at the Jolly Beach resort and had a great vacation. However, the term "great" hardly refers to this golf course. Unless you term it a "great waste of time!" This course is 9 holes of basically a pathetically laid out pitch and putt. The course was... More

Much of what has been said about Jolly Harbour golf course is true. It is short at 5600 Yards, however many of the fairways are shortened by the 7 lakes so the effective yardage of the course is much longer than that. Unless your handicap is 7 or less I doubt any one would run over the golf course. The... More

I recently returned from Antigua where I played the Jolly Harbour Course. Antigua is not a destination for golf. There are 2 courses on the island, the other being Cedar Valley. I am told by someone who played both that Jolly harbour is the better of the two. Having said that however the fairways at Jolly Harbour are in generally... More

I recently spent 5 days in Antigua. This is a wonderful island with breathtaking scenery, very friendly people, and, to my surprise, excellent food. That said, I wasted an afternoon playing this pathetic golf course. It is a short, terribly uninteresting layout. In addition, it was in absolutely horrible condition. Far worse than a bad muni. The fairways consisted of... More
