About Apes Hill Barbados

Apes Hill Barbados is an 18-hole course on a hilltop property in the Caribbean. Ron Kirby designed the layout, and the ground gives it plenty of elevation change.

  • The course sits about 1,000 feet above sea level, high enough for panoramic views over the ocean.
  • A par-3 course called Little Apes sits alongside the main course, for golfers who want a shorter loop.
  • The Staysure Legends Tour played the Barbados Legends here from April 24 to 26, 2026.
  • An island-green par 3 serves as the 19th hole, an extra shot after the 18th.

History of Apes Hill Barbados

Apes Hill was the last design of Ron Kirby, who is credited with the course on the hilltop.
