Golf in Martinique

Golf de l'Impératrice Josephine. The 18-hole Le Golf de l'Impératrice Josephine is named in honor of Empress Joséphine Napoléon, whose birthplace, La Pagerie, adjoins this 150-acre track of rolling hills. Completely American in design, the par-71 Robert Trent Jones course comes with an English-speaking pro, a pro shop, a bar, and an especially good restaurant. (You can finish your visit here with foie gras or a full meal, being mesmerized by the turquoise waters all the while.)

The club offers special greens fees to cruise-ship passengers. Public greens fees are €30 for 9 holes and €45 for 18; a cart costs another €25 for 9, €40 for 18. Ask about weekly rates. For those who don't mind walking while admiring the Caribbean view between the palm trees, club trolleys (called "chariots") are €6 for 18 holes, €4 for nine. There are no caddies.
