AMENITIES PAGE - THE RITZ-CARLTON GRAND CAYMAN

For THE discriminating traveler - THIS IS NOT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT

 
Immerse yourself in your passion whether it’s water, wind or racquets. The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman offers countless ways to explore the island’s famous underwater world. Watersports activities of every kind are offered as well as eco-adventures with Ambassadors of the Environment. When it’s time to dry off, head out to The Courts to improve your backhand on either clay or grass courts with the coaching of a Bollettieri pro.

Ambassadors of the Environment
Let an AOTE naturalist accompany you on snorkeling adventures and learn the secrets of Cayman’s thriving marine life. Snorkeling excursions include trips to the underwater city of the reef, the opportunity to learn underwater digital photography and even a night snorkel to see how the reef is dramatically transformed after the sun goes down. AOTE also offers Mangrove Kayaking, an expedition in the ocean’s bizarrely beautiful forest and nursery.

Water Sports
Visit the famous residents of Stingray City on our comfortable pontoon boat or head out on a beach kayak safari into the Caribbean sunset. Try you hand at sailing on one of our 13’ Hobie Waves or head out on a private sail snorkel cruise. Regardless of what you choose, our water sports professionals also offer complimentary snorkeling lessons to ensure you are comfortable in the water and ready to go.

The Golf - Blue Tip

The Greg Norman designed Blue Tip deliver fiercely on its shark pedigree. A nine-hole “Caribbean monster," the course rouses golfers with its five long Par Fours into the Caribbean trade winds, which can make a 470-yard hole play like 600.

Blue Tip is proud to feature a full-service Golf Shop, tournament conditioning, full practice range, customized instruction and a caddie concierge program.The Blue Tip also offers premium Nike rental equipment for men, women and children in both right and left handed versions.

Blue Tip encourages junior golfers with special offers to help them grow their love of the game. Play for golfers 15 and younger is complimentary for certain tee times after 3:00 p.m. when they are with a paying adult. Children can also get free instruction when they accompany a paying adult on a range or playing lesson.

Course Description

Hole 1
Medium length Par 4 with water down the right. The favorable target line is the left side of the fairway for the best angle to the green. This hole typically plays into the wind, which could add 2-3 clubs on to your second shot.

Hole 2
558 yard par 5 playing directly into the wind. Water runs down the entire right side and your drive will need to contend with the fairway bunkers on the left. The best play is to lay up to your favorite yardage for your third shot. Accuracy on your approach to the long and narrow green is a must.

Hole 3
Medium length dogleg left par 4 with water down the entire left side. The winds will typically blow your ball to the right, which is well protected by fairway bunkers.

Hole 4
205 yard par 3 over water. This hole typically plays downwind and long and left of the green is well-bunkered. Three palm trees guard the right side of the green.

Hole 5
Short par 4 with water down the left side. Your tee shot will need to favor the right side of the fairway for the best angle into this small green.

Hole 6
Short par 4 that gives golfers the best option for birdie. Errant tee shots to the right will find the fairway bunker and if you go for the green, beware of the water hazard that comes into play short and left of the green.

Hole 7
601 yard par 5 that typically plays downwind. Beware of the massive fairway bunker on the left that will catch a lot of balls from players avoiding the water down the right hand side. The two-tiered green is receptive to a bump-and-run style shot, but avoid the left side of the green and the large collection area.

Hole 8
Medium length par 4 with mangrove down the entire left side. The right side of the fairway is well-guarded with fairway bunkers.

Hole 9
Island green par 3 playing 156 yards from the Blue Tip Tees. Winds on this hole will typically be hurting and from left-to-right. Club selection will be key here as the hole location on this huge green can vary your club selection by 4 or 5 clubs.
