Private golf arrangements

Golf in Nassau, considered and arranged before you arrive.

The tee time, the clubs, the car and the table afterwards, settled in advance and attended to personally by Nadario Ferguson.

The case for it

A week on the island is brief. It ought to be spent on the course.

Before you travel
Your rounds are reserved at the course best suited to your game, at the hour you prefer, with the confirmations already in hand.
On arrival
A car is waiting. Clubs are fitted to your height and swing and set aside, or your own bag is received and looked after.
The evening before
A brief word on the wind, the holes that reward patience and the dress the club expects. A table is reserved for afterwards.
Should plans change
A single message suffices. Weather, a late flight, a guest who would like another nine: it is quietly rearranged.

The hours otherwise given to telephone calls, comparisons and confirmations are returned to you, which is rather the point.

A note from Nadario

One person, at home on the island and in the game.

I live in Nassau and play here, at Royal Blue, at the Ocean Club and elsewhere on New Providence. The photographs on this page are from my own rounds.

The work itself is easily described. I come to understand how you prefer to play, and I conduct every conversation with the club, the golf shop, the driver and the restaurant on your behalf. Your part is simply to arrive.

I accept a small number of guests, so that each stay receives my full attention. Your details remain with me.

The courses

Two quite different rounds, twenty minutes apart.

I recommend the course to suit your game and your week. Access and availability are confirmed with each club for your dates.

Founding clients

The first twenty-five clients are founding clients. Their terms include 20% off my fee (founding fees of $200, $400 and $800) and a direct line to me for future stays. I ask only for your candid impressions afterwards. One founding place per client or company; provider costs are unaffected.

Questions

Before you write

Can a tee time be guaranteed?

Only the club can confirm a tee time. I request your preferred hour early, see it through, and pass on the club's own confirmation. Should your first choice be unavailable, you will have alternatives before anything is reserved.

Are green fees included?

They are not. Green fees, carts, rentals, instruction, transport and dining are settled with each provider at their own rates. Every cost appears in your plan before you commit, without mark-up.

And if plans change?

Let me know as early as you can. My fee follows my cancellation terms and provider bookings follow theirs. If weather takes a round, I work to move it rather than forfeit it, wherever the club permits.

Is short notice possible?

Frequently. Send the form and a WhatsApp message, and I will begin at once. Short-notice availability rests with the club.

I am travelling alone. Could you find me a game?

Certainly. Choose "A playing partner" and I will pair you with someone of a similar standard.

How private is this?

Your details are used only to arrange your stay, and are shared with providers only as far as a booking requires.
