Ernesto Martinez

Golf Course Turfgrass Management Student at Penn State @PsuTurf

Two questions I get asked often about Point Hardy Golf Club at Cabot St. Lucia:

1. Do you have more photos?

2. What did you think of that golf course?

Here are the answers:

1. Yes. Here you go.

2. I think it’s the most dramatic, most visually spectacular golf course built anywhere on the planet in at least 50 years.

Honored to be part of the crew volunteering at #THEPLAYERS last week. Course was more than on point. Standing ovation for their hardworking everyday crew that keeps its near perfect conditions.
