Rock Sound -- The only place to play golf in Eleuthera is at the Cotton Bay Golf Course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., on the site of the now defunct Cotton Bay Club, Rock Sound (tel. 242/334-6156; www.eleu.net/golf.html). This 18-hole, 7,000-yard, par-72 course has attracted some of the most famous players in the world. Even though the Cotton Bay Club itself is closed, many Americans who maintain second homes at Rock Sound still use the course. Regrettably, golf course maintenance isn't what is used to be in the heyday of the resort. Many fairways aren't marked properly, and the restaurant and clubhouse are long gone. The club still has caddies but no more golf carts. The greens fees are $70 (£37) for 9 holes and $100 (£53) for 18 holes. Reservations are necessary.
