# Luxury Meets Leisure: The Ultimate Yachting & Golf Experience Debuts in Anguilla
For those who revel in life’s finer pursuits, December 13, 2024, offers an extraordinary rendezvous at the crossroads of elegance and sport. Island Global Yachting (IGY), globally recognized for its premier marina network, is set to introduce an exclusive event series at Anguilla’s dazzling **Aurora International Golf Club**. Blending the allure of superyachting with the timeless sophistication of golf, this inaugural experience promises an unforgettable adventure of world-class hospitality, competitive play, and breathtaking island charm.
## A Vision Brought to Life
This milestone event is the fruit of a visionary partnership between IGY and the **Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club**, the brainchild of **billionaire entrepreneur Richard Schulze**, founder of Best Buy. Schulze acquired and revitalized the property in 2020, transforming it into a golfer’s paradise with the help of icons like **Greg Norman**, whose redesign has elevated the course to PGA-caliber standards.
The meticulously designed **18-hole, par-72 course** spans 7,165 yards of lush island terrain, offering mesmerizing panoramic views of Rendezvous Bay. Golfers will face thrilling challenges, not least at the dramatic **18th hole**, which demands a bold shot over a shimmering salt pond to a green nestled amidst three strategically placed bunkers.
“This partnership provides a unique opportunity to showcase everything the Aurora International Golf Club has to offer,” said **Scott DeLong**, General Manager of Golf Operations at Aurora.
While golfers focus on their game, non-golfing guests can immerse themselves in Anguilla’s serene beaches, thrilling water sports, or the post-game awards luncheon, all for just $85. The experience, however, extends well beyond the course, encapsulating the island’s vivid charm and luxurious allure.
## From Yacht Deck to Fairway
The journey commences at IGY’s prestigious **Yacht Club Isle De Sol Marina** in St. Maarten. Known for accommodating world-class superyachts up to 320 feet, this premier destination sets the tone for a day of pure indulgence. Participants will cruise across the Caribbean’s turquoise waters to Anguilla, anticipating a harmonious blend of sport, relaxation, and elite networking.
“This is about curating unforgettable moments both on and off the course,” said **Brian Deher**, Regional Director of IGY Marinas. Undoubtedly, the event epitomizes this sentiment, creating synergies between yachting enthusiasts and golf aficionados within a shared lifestyle of sophistication and adventure.
## Elegance Beyond Golf
The experience culminates with a vibrant awards celebration at **Anchor Bar**, IGY’s flagship venue in St. Maarten. Here, participants can toast their achievements with sweeping views of Simpson Bay as the backdrop. Players gain entry to this luxurious affair with a $270 registration fee, ensuring access to a meticulously curated day of competitive golf and post-round festivities.
What sets this event apart is its inclusivity for non-golfers and its pioneering spirit of merging two elite passions. This isn’t merely golf or yachting—it’s an authentic lifestyle statement, one that resonates deeply with those who seek meaningful connections and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
## Expanding Horizons
IGY’s inaugural golf event in Anguilla is only the opening chapter of a global luxury events series. Plans are already underway to expand the concept across IGY’s network of iconic locations worldwide, including **Ibiza, London’s St. Katharine Docks, Miami, Cabo San Lucas, and Turks and Caicos**. A standout future venue is **Sindalah Island IGY Marina** in Saudi Arabia, part of the visionary NEOM project. Featuring a golf course designed by **Robert Trent Jones Jr.**, Sindalah promises unparalleled luxury in the heart of the Red Sea.
This forward-thinking initiative forms part of IGY’s broader commitment to delivering elite experiences steeped in luxury and exclusivity. Members of the company’s **Trident program** enjoy unparalleled benefits, including access to bespoke events, elite concierge services, and priority berthing.
## A Lifestyle Worth Celebrating
IGY’s Anguilla event is more than just a celebration of sport or luxury—it’s a momentous gathering that unites like-minded individuals under one shared ethos: a life well-lived. It’s about the serenity of sailing, the thrill of a golf swing, and the camaraderie formed in the world’s most picturesque settings.
