In 2002, Marriott's Royal St. Kitts debuted as Tom McBroom's first design in the Caribbean and immediately took its place among the region's most popular courses next to Teeth of the Dog in the Dominican and Green Monkey in Barbados. McBroom artfully routed the holes along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, presenting golfers with a variety of shots, ever-present wind and spectacular ocean views. Royal St. Kitts is planted with seashore paspalum grass ideal for the Caribbean. The greens are aesthetic gems with subtle to severe swales that test a player's shot-making ability and short game.
