Everyone Welcome at Provo Golf Club
Come Help Us Celebrate
Our 20th Anniversary!
Twenty years is always a significant milestone accomplishment in the history of a golf club and even more special for Provo Golf Club, as twenty years ago the island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos was brand new in its future direction as a high end Caribbean Resort Destination. Using that vision Provo Golf Club was developed to help the country cultivate its bourgeoning tourist industry. Thus Provo Golf Club was conceived by the well established HAB Group who accomplished this project in the extremely attractive location of Grace Bay, Providenciales. World renowned golf-course architect, Karl Litten was chosen and ground broke in May of 1991 leading to the first shot being struck only 18 months later on a picture perfect, “Provo Day”, Saturday November 7th, 1992.
Today Provo Golf Club finds itself open to all resort golfers while maintaining a healthy club membership of over 150 avid, supportive, golfers all the while hosting many charity tournaments that to date have raised over $1,150,000 towards a variety of worthwhile local Charities. There is no question that while on vacation our guests experience the special vibe and character that only a destination golf club, with a strong golf community, can deliver. It is this unique blend of international guests and friendly members that creates the club’s atmosphere that keeps many golfers returning year after year.
Not only is this quality championship golf course (twice the host venue of The Caribbean Amateur Championships) open to all island guests, but tee times can be booked easily 30 days in advance via phone, email, our new web site (www.provogolfclub.com) or even once you arrive and get settled on island. So call today to reserve your time, and your choice of top grade, TaylorMade, club rentals which come in junior flex, ladies flex, senior flex, men’s regular and stiff flexes, in both right and left hands.
Known for its natural rugged layout this course is as demanding as you choose and is a great test for pros and amateurs alike. The fairways are lined with native island bush which combine with inland lakes and over 1500 palm and colourful trees to compliment the beautifully maintained playing surfaces. The front nine has water features on five holes, and the back nine on six which actually come into play on 13 holes. From the black tees the championship layout of 6,719 yards is certainly challenging but with four sets of tees the course is playable for golfers of all abilities.
Provo Golf and Country Club has invested heavily in upgrading its facilities all aimed at enhancing the golfer’s experience. These include new warm up and practice ranges, the renovation of tees, bunkers, and cart-paths as well as the recent planting of 800 trees. Some of the newest course investments of late 2012 are displayed in a new Club Car Precedent golf cart fleet, as well as the front nine greens renovation that now showcases Tiff Eagle, championship quality, Bermuda, greens. The back nine greens will be changed over to complete the transition in the late summer of 2013 to crown off the many course and club house improvements over the past five years.
Marble floors, oak and leather furniture and a colourful array of international golf flags adorn the ceiling to welcome visitors to the West Indian Clubhouse, along with the Fairways Bar & Grill that provides all your golfing nourishment needs in this golf friendly atmosphere. What better than to finish your round at the sociable ‘19th Hole’!
Whether you are interested in shopping in our fully stocked Pro Shop, dining at Fairways Bar & Grill, want a trade wind cooled diversion from Grace Bay beach, or just a beautiful ride through the natural flora and fauna disguised as a championship round of golf we trust that you will feel welcomed, Island Style!
For twenty years now Provo Golf Club has been “a secret worth discovering”, we hope you join us this year to celebrate our 20th Anniversary!
