And don’t just take our word for it! Here’s a review from one of our customers, Vivik, who tried out our recommendation to golf at Aurora Anguilla.




Customer Review: Tee Time at Aurora Golf Course

We recently recommended that Vivik play a round at Aurora for his bachelor party, and here’s what he had to say...

"Thank you so much for recommending the Aurora Golf Course! It was an incredible experience, easily one of the most beautiful courses I've ever played. The staff took excellent care of us, and the attention to detail was outstanding. The course was immaculately manicured, with stunning greens, and Aurora even provided us with custom tags for our golf bags — a thoughtful touch."

"There were plenty of stations for water refills and bathroom breaks, as well as supply carts around with snacks and drinks, making it an exceptionally enjoyable and comfortable day on the course."

"We especially loved being able to play guilt-free, knowing our wives were enjoying a relaxing day at Breezes."

"We had such a fantastic time that we can’t wait to go back and experience it all over again. Thanks again for such a perfect recommendation!"
