Blue Tip is the newest golf course in the Cayman Islands, having opened in 2006.

A part of the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, its claim to fame is being designed by Greg Norman. Over the years the PGA legend has been successful building golf courses in addition to playing on them.

The result is a nine-hole, par-36 course stretching 3,515 yards (over a 120-acre site) with five sets of tees for varied play. At the heart of Blue Tip are five long par-four holes into the Caribbean trade-winds. Much of the play takes place along a natural saltwater lagoon with views of the North Sound.

Blue Tip is private and exclusively for the use of Ritz Carlton guests and owners. Tee times can be had at short notice and the course caters to frequent and infrequent players.

Starting 1 December, golf fees are US$215 (for 18 holes). Club rental for 18 holes is US$75. The clubs are Taylor Made Burners, the latest models received from Taylor Made Golf.

Play for golfers 15 and younger is complimentary for certain tee times after 3pm when they are with a paying adult. Children can also get free instruction when they accompany a paying adult on a short game or playing lesson.

At the helm of Blue Tip is Director of Golf David Loomis. A PGA class ‘A’ professional and graduate of Ferris State University, Loomis worked in Miami and Jupiter, Florida with a stop in Jackson, Michigan.
