A par-72 links-style layout stretching over 7,400 yards through 30-foot dunes and waste areas on New Providence's southwestern tip. Since 2015 it has hosted Tiger Woods' Hero World Challenge annually, making it one of the most-televised courses in the Caribbean.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"Old-school shotmaking matters more than raw power — Els built in snaking waste hazards and multiple angles of attack, so plan your line off the tee rather than just swinging away."
Opened in 2010 on New Providence Island, Albany's championship course was designed by Ernie Els as the centerpiece of a luxury resort community co-owned by Els, Tiger Woods, and Justin Timberlake. The par-72, 7,309-yard layout blends links-style windswept dunes (some 30 feet tall) with Bahamian water and coastal features. Since 2015 it has hosted the PGA Tour's Hero World Challenge, Tiger Woods' invitational, drawing a 20-man elite field every December.
Bucket-list players chasing a Hero World Challenge tee-to-green experience and resort guests who want championship conditioning.
The closing stretch along the water tests every club in the bag under tournament pressure — it's built to produce the kind of Sunday drama the Hero World Challenge is known for.
Multiple tee boxes on every hole make it playable for higher handicaps, but wind off the water and firm, fast turf punish mis-hits — built to test Tour pros, so expect a real fight from the back tees.
In GSPro's library and plays firm, fast, and windy like the real thing — a strong pick for members who want to feel PGA Tour-caliber resistance without a private-club membership.
Private resort course — access is generally limited to Albany residents, members, and their guests; not a walk-up public round.
