Under the visionary leadership of Canadian entrepreneur Glenn Chamandy, Apes Hill Barbados embarked on a remarkable transformation in 2019. The late legendary architect Ron Kirby undertook the extensive overhaul of Apes Hill’s original golf course, revealing the par-72 layout to the world to resounding applause in late 2022. This award-winning design, which marked Kirby’s final masterpiece before his passing, was celebrated for its playability and aesthetic appeal, nestled amid native Barbadian flora and rock formations, with sweeping vistas of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean from its elevated position.
Apes Hill Barbados also earned the coveted title of ‘World’s Best Golf Real Estate Venue,’ reflecting the success of its ambitious real estate development. The resort boasts a diverse range of properties and lifestyle amenities, all harmoniously designed to blend seamlessly with the Caribbean landscape, catering to the needs and desires of residents.

The resort’s commitment to golf extends to its state-of-the-art Performance Centre, which offers cutting-edge technology and equipment for golfers of all levels to refine their game, solidifying Apes Hill as the Caribbean’s premier destination for golf enthusiasts. Furthermore, a family-friendly, par-three course known as “Little Apes” is under development, as well as a unique “19th hole” inspired by the iconic 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.
Apes Hill Barbados’ dedication to sustainability also came to the forefront, earning them the distinction of ‘World’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility.’ Notably, the resort’s championship golf course is irrigated solely with recycled rainwater from a massive 58-million-gallon reservoir, resulting in a significant reduction in water consumption. Thoughtful turf and vegetation management minimizes the use of harmful chemicals, leading to the resort being awarded the prestigious Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf certification in 2023.
Beyond golf, Apes Hill demonstrates a commitment to farming livestock and cultivating fresh produce on-site, fostering a thriving ecosystem. Sunil Chatrani, the executive chairman of Apes Hill Barbados, expressed gratitude for the multiple awards, highlighting the dedication to creating an exceptional golf experience, a lasting tribute to Ron Kirby’s legacy, and the resort’s unique vision for building a vibrant community.
