NASSAU, The Bahamas – From the 16th tee at Royal Blue, perched high above the green on the spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at the uber-elegant Baha Mar Resort, there’s a sense you’re taking in the best the course offers.
The green isn’t on an island, rather a peninsula that juts into Lake Cunningham, taunting those above with a come-hither look but a difficult-to-hold putting surface. Although turquoise waves lap at Cable Beach close by, the lake water along the picturesque 16th is typically calm and dark, an unfortunate grave for far too many mis-hit shots.
