Two of the three locations are at an exclusive resort, so you can hit the green right after your breakfast. Needless to say, the greens are well maintained, making it beautifully green despite the daily bright sun. All three golf courses are located around Willemstad, so if you want to see more than your resort you have plenty of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Blue Bay Curacao Golf Resort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"154\" height=\"31\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.naarcuracao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/rating-4-sterren-curacao.png\" alt=\"rating 4 stars curacao 4 stars\" class=\"wp-image-15032 lazyload\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naarcuracao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/rating-4-sterren-curacao.png 154w, https:\/\/www.naarcuracao.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/rating-4-sterren-curacao-150x30.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 154px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 154\/31;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 154px) 100vw, 154px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cura\u00e7ao&#8217;s most famous golf course is that of <a href=\"https:\/\/reis.tui.nl\/c?c=433&amp;m=12&amp;a=182094&amp;r=golf&amp;u=%2Fblue-bay-curacao-golf-en-beach-resort-50960672%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\">Blue Bay Golf &amp; Beach Resort<\/a>.
