Recreation

At Sandals regency St. Lucia Golf Resort and Spa at La Toc, a round at the sporty 9-hole golf course is a perfect ending to a day at the sea. The course nettles in a picturesque valley surrounded by lush, villa-studded hills, its emerald, undulating terrain punctuated by bursts of crepe myrtle, bougainvillea and other flamboyant blossoms. Measuring only 3,141 yards, this layout is short but not always sweet. Erratic breezes often make club selection a nail-biting dilemma, and several holes are as tight as tunnels, demanding laser like accuracy of the tee. On the par-3 down hill on the 8th hole, for example, a mere fade or draw could land you in a jungle of white cedars, mango and almond tress and bamboo. The majority of recreational activities noted below are included in the room rate for this resort.  Play is complimentary, but fees are charged for caddies and shoe rental (mandatory). Clubs and carts are available for a fee. Other recreational facilities and equipment are complimentary, including five tennis courts (all lighted), kayaks, windsurfers, sailboats, snorkeling gear, waterskis, and scuba diving gear and trips. Land sports include basketball, croquet, horseshoes, shuffleboard, beach volleyball, and pool.
