Britannia is the only golf course in the Cayman Islands designed by Jack Nicklaus.

The PGA legend is known just as much for designing great courses as he is for his play. Britannia, the first in the Caribbean to be built by Nicklaus, lives up to that pedigree with a design reminiscent of Royal Troon, Turnberry, and Royal Birkdale.

The hall mark of a Nicklaus design is his ability to provide players of all abilities with a challenging and rewarding golf experience. Britannia, which is 5,829 yards long, uses the natural challenges of a seaside layout along with a picturesque view.

Britannia is set up as a nine-hole, par-35 course that can be played as a par-70, 18-hole challenge (which would require two different sets of tees). It is part of the Grand Cayman Beach Suites (formerly the Hyatt Regency hotel).

Britannia’s Golf Supervisor is Brent Weimer. Former European PGA Tour pro Marcello Santi is available for private lessons.

The current rates, which include the use of a cart, are US$115 (18 holes) and US$75 (nine holes). The afternoon special is US$50 (applicable after 3pm). Club rentals are US$50 (18 holes) and US$25 (nine holes).
