squierjosh Posted October 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Anyone ever put together a golf excursion themed cruise? I'm looking to put together something for a winter getaway, but I'm not seeing a lot of Carnival golf excursions (Jamaica, Mazatlan, St Kitts). I don't think there's any cruise that has any two of these ports together. I know Cozumel has at least one course. I assume most other islands do as well.

johnboy036 Posted October 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The course in Cozumel closed in 2020 and probably will never reopen. I drove past it October2021and it has not been maintained at all so it would take $$$$ to renovate if someone want to buy it and try reopening. The Jack Nicklaus layout was great years ago, but the last few times I played there the course was not well maintained. I have played golf in Roatan, Curacao, St. Thomas and Puerto Vallarta also before while cruising. Some were booked on my own and some through Carnival. If you wanted to make a golf trip while cruising, I am sure with planning you could play in most ports on your trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is the second thread I have seen tonight asking about golfing on the islands. Not the same islands. I am kind of surprised that someone who is an avid enough golfer to carry clubs on a cruise would not belong to some golfing forums which could provide suggestions as to golf course locations.

EM You sure you're not from MN, with that subtle passive aggressive response? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted October 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2022 He's also assuming we'd pack clubs. Might just rent them along with the cart. 🙂 We'd go - keep posting details ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy036 Posted October 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I always take my clubs and have never played at more than two ports on anyone cruise. I have a good travel bag and it's easy to bring clubs on the ship and take the off at end of the cruise with porters. It's not bad to carry clubs off at ports and to a taxi.

I've heard taxis are not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
