**When Yachts and Fairways Converge: IGY Golf Brings Together Luxury and Sport**
In a bold celebration of opulence and elite leisure pursuits, IGY Marinas has unveiled **IGY Golf**, a groundbreaking event series that bridges the worlds of yachting and golf. Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Caribbean, this premier event promises to offer yacht owners and their guests an unmatched fusion of indulgence and sport. With its inaugural showcase scheduled for **December 13, 2024**, IGY Golf is set to redefine luxury travel and lifestyle experiences.
### **An Exclusive Caribbean Experience**
The debut of IGY Golf will take place amidst the crystalline waters of the Caribbean at the prestigious **IGY Yacht Club Isle De Sol Marina** in St. Maarten. Known for its privacy, expert services, and ability to host **superyachts of up to 320 feet**, the marina provides an exceptional starting point for an exclusive adventure. From here, participants will journey to the opulent **Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club**, where they’ll test their skills on one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated courses. Designed for both seasoned players and leisure golfers, the event ensures an unforgettable experience.
**Brian Deher**, Regional Director of IGY Marinas, captured the event’s essence by stating, *“This program allows us to blend two elite passions—yachting and golf—in a way that offers our yacht owners, captains, and crew something truly extraordinary.”*
### **Aurora Anguilla Golf Club: A Course of Distinction**
At the heart of this opulent gathering lies the **Aurora Anguilla Golf Club**, a course re-imagined by legendary designer **Greg Norman**. Known for his exceptional designs that balance challenging gameplay with idyllic scenery, Norman has transformed Anguilla’s rolling greens into a masterpiece.
Golfers can look forward to encountering the enhanced **Latitude 36 Bermudagrass**, cutting-edge **TifEagle greens**, and the recently introduced **Avalon Links short course**, which adds variety to the experience. Among the course’s highlights are the dramatic first tee overlooking **Rendezvous Bay** and the 18th-hole finale featuring a challenging salt pond and bunker-guarded green. Stretching **7,165 yards**, this par-72 championship course offers something for every level of player.
Describing the excitement of welcoming the event, **Scott DeLong**, General Manager of Golf Operations at Aurora Anguilla, shared, *“The chance to welcome IGY Marinas allows us to showcase our world-class course to an incredible community of yachting enthusiasts.”*
The course’s illustrious ownership also adds to its stature. **Richard Schulze**, founder of Best Buy and a Forbes-listed billionaire, acquired the resort in 2020, elevating it to a haven of luxury and adventure for discerning travelers. His vision has breathed new life into the property, ensuring it stands as a premier destination for global travelers.
### **A Luxurious Celebration of Connection**
While the golf course may take center stage, IGY Golf is about more than just sport—it’s about community and camaraderie. The event offers opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the finer things in life. After a day of exhilarating play, participants will retreat to the **Anchor Bar** at Isle De Sol Marina for a lavish awards celebration featuring stunning sunset views, world-class hospitality, and curated networking opportunities.
For non-golfers, IGY Golf provides equally indulgent options. Whether lounging on private beaches, exploring local attractions, or partaking in curated social gatherings, every attendee is guaranteed an exquisite experience.
### **Why IGY Golf Matters**
Far from being a standalone event, IGY Golf represents a larger vision for IGY Marinas—a bold fusion of elite lifestyles that sets the stage for future luxury adventures. With a global presence spanning **Ibiza**, **Malaga**, and new developments like **Sindalah Island in NEOM (Saudi Arabia)**—home to an upcoming **Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed course**—IGY reinforces its commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences for yacht owners and enthusiasts.
For the inaugural December event, the cost of participation is strikingly accessible considering the luxury on offer—**$270 for golfers** and **$85 for non-golfers**. The pricing reflects IGY Marinas’ dedication to inclusivity without compromising their hallmark exclusivity, especially for their **Trident Members**, who receive premier benefits across IGY’s network of destinations.
### **A Lifestyle Statement for the Elite**
