Lyford Cay Club's golf course is a private 18-hole, par-72 layout at the western end of New Providence. Canadian developer Edward Plunkett Taylor established Lyford Cay Club in the late 1950s and commissioned Dick Wilson to create its championship golf course. Published records date the course to 1959.
In 2006 Rees Jones and Bryce Swanson completed a comprehensive redesign that rebuilt the green complexes, reconstructed and added fairway bunkers, reshaped tees and made irrigation improvements. The project also extended the course from its original 6,610 yards to 7,007 yards. Rees Jones' firm says the renovation deliberately retained a Dick Wilson style while recovering hole locations that had been lost over the preceding decades and adjusting the course for modern equipment and green speeds.
The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,407m (7,007 yards). Designed by Dick Wilson, the course originally opened in 1959. It is open to members and their guests. On-site facilities include Practice Facilities.
Canadian financier and developer Edward Plunkett Taylor established the private Lyford Cay Club on the northwest corner of New Providence in the late 1950s. Rees Jones Inc.'s project history states that Taylor commissioned Dick Wilson to lay out a championship-standard course for the membership. Golf references date its opening to 1959.
Wilson's original course was a 6,610-yard private-club layout. During the later redesign, Rees Jones and Bryce Swanson intentionally worked in a Dick Wilson style rather than replacing its architectural identity. Their work restored lost hole locations while updating bunker placement, green surfaces and teeing grounds for modern play.
The most important change came in 2006, when Rees Jones Inc. completed a comprehensive redesign. Every green complex was rebuilt, fairway bunkers were reconstructed or added, tees were reshaped, irrigation received minor improvements and total championship length increased to 7,007 yards.
Lyford Cay remains one of New Providence's private golf clubs. Access is generally limited to members and their invited guests, and neither the Bahamas Golf Federation nor other reliable current sources publish an outside visitor green fee.
