Hydrate regularly — carry water in your buggy or use on‑course stations.
Observe local course rules and signage (respect roped areas, wildlife and maintenance crews).
Follow caddie guidance for course hazards and safe play around dunes/wetlands.
If you have medical conditions, keep medication accessible and inform clubhouse staff if assistance is needed.
Tips
Book tee times in advance, especially during high season and weekends.
Use the club’s caddies — they provide valuable local knowledge on green speeds, wind and yardages.
Bring or rent a light rain jacket during shoulder seasons; weather can change quickly.
Dress code: collared shirts and golf shoes are typically required; check the club policy before arrival.
Arrive early to warm up — the course is best enjoyed when comfortable and unhurried.
Combine your round with other activities in Bel Ombre (beach, nature walks, reef trips) for a full day.
Carry local currency or card for pro shop purchases and gratuities; check if hotel packages include green fees.
