Pink sand or not, Bermuda is warm and colorful with fine golf courses
Bermuda is warm and colorful, surrounded by turquoise waters straight out of postcards and travel magazines. It's hilly, giving you ample opportunity to gaze at the sun dancing off the ocean, either in the morning or late in the afternoon. And the golf courses are pretty darn good, though you won't find any 7,500-yard behemoths here.

St. Lucia is a small island with big aspirations. A massive new development known as "Le Paradis," which includes a Greg Norman-designed golf course, shows these aspirations. They even have a signature hole at the to-be-built course -- the par-3 No. 14 hole, that will play alongside cliffs jutting out over the Atlantic Ocean. The hole and course look to be top-notch, but will it help St. Lucia get the boost in tourism they're after?

Royal St. Kitts, now a full 18 holes, emerges as a top Caribbean golf course
Everywhere you look, from nearly any vantage point at the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club, you see either distant, cloud-shrouded mountains and volcanoes or the deep blue sea. Sometimes you see the deep blue sea from on high, sometimes you see it from the down low, but make no mistake, you will see it, and of course, if you're not careful, you'll be in it — or at least your tee shot will.

Riddell's Bay is the oldest golf course in Bermuda, built back in 1922, back before they started building them in the hills to give tourists views of the ocean and bays. The result is that the course is more flat, and the views — there are plenty — are more up close and personal.

Formerly known as Castle Harbour and dating to the 1930s, Bermuda's aging Tucker's Point Golf Course came in for some criticism in recent years for poor design and conditioning. But since a 2002 rehab by Roger Rulewich, golfers are happy as, well, bluebirds with it.

While you may miss out on a 'Wow' view of the ocean, St. Lucia Golf and Country Club makes up for it in many other ways, writes TravelGolf.com National Golf Editor Tim McDonald. Taking advantage of the natural landscape, St. Lucia's gives golfers a wild ride through the islands, replete with wildlife, coconut-shell tee markers and rum truffles at the coffee shop. It's also a course with a 139 slope rating, so bring extra balls.

The Sandals Regency course was designed by Richard Colon, a man who never met a tight fairway he didn't like. Tighter than Uncle Harry's hat band, it’s a claustrophobic little track that keeps your driver in the bag, or should. And while it many not compare to the St. Lucia Golf and Country Club course, at just $40 for 18 holes, it makes for a pleasant day of island golf, writes National Golf Editor Tim McDonald.
