Britannia Golf Club
This golf club has a par-57, 18-hole executive course with features such as grassy mounds, rolling dunes, lakes and over-sized bunkers. The natural challenges and hazards on this Jack Nicklaus course challenge even experienced golfers. Although the club offers annual memberships, island visitors can purchase a round of golf. PGA golf professional Dave Johnson offers hour-long private lessons for a fee. The golf shop provides appropriate attire for male and female golfers. The Britannia Restaurant, overlooking the 18th hole, serves home-cooked breakfast and lunch items. You can eat and watch the big-screen television on the restaurant's second level.
