Driving in a New Direction: Grand Cayman's North Sound Club Acquires New Golf Carts

Changes are in the works for Grand Cayman's North Sound Club with new ownership and operation. Formerly the Links at SafeHaven, the new North Sound Club was acquired in November 2007 by offshore land developer Michael Ryan. Ryan has several plans for the property, which is situated on some of the best real estate in the Caribbean. Course designer Greg Norman and Great White Shark Enterprises is on board to merge the club's golf course with The Ritz-Carlton's Blue Tip course. The resulting eighteen-hole course will become one of the most expensive golf course developments in Cayman Islands history and will afford a new standard of Grand Cayman golfing and recreation.

The acquisition of new golf carts has already set developments in motion. On December 20, 2007, forty E-Z-GO® TXT® golf carts were delivered to the club. As the North Sound Club has been without the convenience of golf carts ever since Hurricane Ivan struck the Cayman Islands nearly three years ago, these carts provide course patrons with an efficient and comfortable mode of transportation. The top-of-the-line vehicles feature quiet operation, a sleek design and a stylish, eye-catching shade of blue. When the redesigned golf course is complete, the golf carts will be accompanied by other first-class amenities that will reflect the caliber of the new North Sound Club.

Purchasing the E-Z-GO® TXT® golf carts represents the first of many changes to come over the next few years, and has kicked-started the North Sound Club’s journey into a new direction. With Greg Norman handling the reconfiguration of a fully-appointed golfing venue, future guests and residents of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman will have great golfing opportunities to look forward to.
