Golfing in Havana.
Getting there.
The Club de Golf Habana, at Carretera de Vento, Km.8, Capdevila, Boyeros, Havana, is just 10 minutes from downtown, and even closer to the airport. You should arrive by cab, since the club is very difficult to find and the fare is only about $10. Telephone: (53-7) 33 89 19.
Playing.
Greens fees are $20 for nine holes, $30 for 18. Caddies charge $3 and $6, respectively. Pull carts are available, motorized carts aren't. The pro shop offers high-quality club rentals; a set of Wilson Staff clubs with graphite shafts rents for $10. If you visit Cuba frequently, consider a club membership. After an initiation fee of $70, monthly dues of just $45 include unlimited golf. The course is par 70 for men and par 72 for women with a slope rating of 125. Until the expansion is complete, there is no driving range, but a practice green is available. Head pro Jorge Duque says you don't need to book times, but on weekends it's better to call in case a tournament is being held.
