Golf in December

December is an excellent time to enjoy a golf holiday in Trinidad and Tobago. The islands are warm, lively and welcoming, while the festive season adds a special atmosphere to hotels, restaurants and local communities. You can spend the morning on the fairway, then cool off beside the sea or explore the island’s varied scenery in the afternoon.

Temperatures are generally comfortable for outdoor activities, with plenty of sunshine and a refreshing breeze in many coastal areas. December is also part of the drier season, although a brief tropical shower is always possible. Pack light clothing, sun protection and a waterproof layer, and you will be ready for both golf and sightseeing.

Courses and Conditions

Trinidad offers the greatest choice for golfers, with courses set among rolling countryside, mature trees and tropical planting. The landscape gives each round its own character, from open fairways where the breeze can influence your shot to tree-lined holes that reward careful club selection. Many courses welcome visitors, though booking ahead is sensible during the busy Christmas and New Year period.

Tobago has a more relaxed pace and is ideal for combining golf with a traditional beach holiday. Its course is set in attractive tropical surroundings, making a round feel like a genuine island experience rather than simply a sporting activity. Check green fees, club hire and dress requirements before travelling, as arrangements can vary between venues.

Beyond the Fairway

A golf holiday here does not need to follow a strict routine. In Trinidad, you might visit the capital, Port of Spain, enjoy local food or take a guided trip into the Northern Range. Nature lovers can look for colourful birds, visit a protected rainforest area or explore the coast at a leisurely pace.

In Tobago, the appeal is wonderfully easy-going. Spend time on sandy beaches, swim in clear water, snorkel around the reefs or take a boat trip to see the island from the sea. After a day outdoors, local restaurants serve fresh seafood, Creole favourites and Caribbean dishes with plenty of flavour.

Planning Your Trip

December is a popular month, so arrange flights, accommodation and tee times as early as possible. Consider staying close to your preferred course if playing several rounds, or divide your time between Trinidad and Tobago if you want to experience both islands. Allow time for transfers and remember that island travel can take longer than expected.

Choose comfortable accommodation with space to relax after your round, and ask whether the property can arrange transfers, club hire or restaurant bookings. With warm weather, varied courses and plenty to do away from the greens, Trinidad and Tobago makes a rewarding choice for a December golf holiday.
