Point Hardy Golf Club at Cabot Saint Lucia...After all the hype, anticipation and pandemic-related delays, the Point Hardy Golf Club at Cabot St. Lucia opened on Dec. 7.
Designed by
Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw for The Cabot Collection, a Toronto-based developer and operator of luxury resort and residential golf destinations, Point Hardy is the centerpiece of Cabot St. Lucia, a 375-acre golf and residential estate that occupies one-and-a-half miles of coastline overlooking the Caribbean Sea on the northern tip of St. Lucia.
“When I first saw the land that would become Cabot Saint Lucia, I knew it was the perfect canvas to create something truly awe-inspiring," said Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot. "Opening Cabot Saint Lucia and Point Hardy Golf Club has been a dream come true."

Perched above the Atlantic Ocean and designed to blend seamlessly with the unique topography of the Saint Lucian landscape, Point Hardy is the crown jewel of the site. Coore's and Crenshaw’s first Caribbean course winds through lush terrain, over rocky cliffs jutting into the ocean and along meandering valleys and sandy beaches.
With nine holes (six through nine and 14 through 18) playing along the ocean and every hole showcasing mesmerizing views, the 6,650-yard, par-71 course capitalizes on natural beauty and playability at every turn. The four-hole closing stretch at Point Hardy features forced carries, jagged rocks and crashing waves. Those holes include the 307-yard, par-4 15th; the 156-yard, par-3 16th; the 187-yard, par-3 17th; and the 502-yard, par-5 18th.
"It’s very possible that Cabot Saint Lucia is the most visually stunning piece of land we have ever worked with," said Coore, co-principal of Coore & Crenshaw. "It was a privilege to work with the Cabot team on this one-of-a-kind site, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished. This project was truly a labor of love."
