Sandals Dive Sites
I took this image of the sites that this dive shop frequents, although there are 22 different sites on this wall, there should be 23, one that has yet to be put on here is close to the #15 Train Station, that of which we didn’t go to but it was called Metro Station.
Here is a list of where we did go;
#2-Billy’s Grotto
#3-Snappers Ledge
#5-Morgans Anchor
#11-Ojay’s
#18-Barracuda Reef

Not the biggest Barrel Coral I’ve seen, but thought it looked cool just sitting out in the open like this.
Another interesting looking form of coral I couldn’t pass up without taking a photo
No, this is not a giant clam, although in other regions I have seen some types of clams that get big, but not this big. Just another odd shaped coral.
I hadn’t seen a Barracuda under a shelf of coral before, it looks as though it were black. Looked pretty freaky and even more fearful in this position than when out swimming around, where it looks silver and skeletal like In the light.
Here we are, finally a few images of a couple different sea turtles.

This course layout is great, but has nothing on the actual views you will find while playing this course.
The course layout along with an ad and the course rules.
Now I’m not promoting these ad’s that you might see on these scorecards, but I’m also not banning them. I did have as pair of Birkenstock sandals, wore three for years going to the Caribbean. Then they wore out but I replaced them with a different brand all together for other reasons.
Their scorecard, showing no scores as we use an app to keep track of our rounds of golf.
As I’ve mentioned, we do not writhe on these cards as they are for our “Wall of Golf” in our spare room. I’ll have as picture posted on here soon.
The par 3, 11th had a temporary obstruction
We’ve played on a course in Miami that had really large iguanas throughout the whole course. I’ve played on counot less courses that were crowded with geese and ducks…
But i do have to say, this was a first for me. A tribe of goats were in the middle of the fairway. Then all of a sudden they left. Almost as though they were trained by their owner to come home with a certain call, but we didn’t hear anything.
We were pleased that we didn’t have to worry about hitting any of them with our tee shots.
John teeing off somewhere on the front nine
One thing we found was that the whole area was so plush and green, too it’s had been raining quite a bit recently, especially with the hurricane that came near here the week before.
John pointing out the location of the flag on this par 3 on the back nine
The elevation on the back nine was much higher than the front nine. You can see some of the ocean to the right in the far off distsance.
If you look at the top of the image, you can see the ball in flight
This par 4, drastic 90 degree dogleg left needed an iron to get off the tee for the approach to the green.
This may look like a par 5, but it isn’t.
This par 4, 6th hole, had a narrow landing in the fairway that was considerably lower than the tee box, so your tee shot had to land perfectly….
12th hole, par 4….John’s birdie putt….
John had a long birdie putt, but he left it short.
Oh, and yes, that’d my second shot you see on the left
View from the tee on the par 4, 18th hole
This whole course was beautiful. All I can say is that if you find yourself in Antigua, this course is well worth playing.
