THE CAYMAN BALL
The goal of most golfers may be to drive the ball as far as it can go, but that task becomes a little more difficult with the Cayman Ball. Designed to go only half as far as a regular ball, this tricky orb make the best use of the small course area on the island. Britannia is the first course designed for use of the Cayman
Ball.
At the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman, the Britannia Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus. This links-style course, with the challenges of its seaside location, includes blind tee shots, pot bunkers, and two-tiered greens. On the fifth hole, golfers shoot over the Caribbean waters. This course can be played as a nine-hole championship course, an 18-hole executive course, or an 18-hole Cayman Ball course. For advance starting times, (345) 949-8020.
