Golf in Cuba?

[Bushy]

any suggestions hints / tips and do's and don'ts

I am visiting Cuba in December and will take the clubs we are staying in Havana and Varadero for a couple of weeks to do some diving, golfing and quality time :)

Anyone got any advice on the golf or any other reccomendations thanks in advance

Gotta go get some Cigars. Best Cigars in the world IMHO. Too bad we can't get them here in the states. LOL

No love for golf in Cuba then? Cigars are on the list a box for $70 from the factory sounds like a steal but I dont smoke....

Just make sure you don't hit Castro's House otherwise the full force will on your behind!!!! J/K

 

I have not been to Cuba at all so i can't really give you any advice or hints. Have fun and happy trip!!!

Little known fact Domician cigar are just as good if not better than cubans, but they're not illgeal so they lose the appeal factor of getting something expensive and illgeal from another country.

Went to Cuba last year. Unforunately I didn't play golf but I remember seeing several on the way to Varadero. You should be able to book through your hotel conciege. It is expensive and take your own balls, they'll charge you £15-20 for a sleeve of three. Enjoy :)

Don't hit O.B. at Gitmo C.C.

Don't use Maxfli 'Revolution' balls. They don't like that word down there. :)

He he ... actually ... when I first played in Miami, I remember rolling a long putt to about 1/2 inch from the hole, and having one of my foursome say "Too bad - a Cuban putt ...". I didn't get it until he explained ... "It just needs one more revolution" ...

 

 

LOL. I've heard that too. A guy I used to play with would say "That was half-a-Castro from going in."

At one time, there were a few Donald Ross courses on Cuba. I bet Cuba was a GREAT place to vacation in the 1950's.

 

Soon, when Fidel leaves this life, maybe the country will make a comeback....
