Pine Cliffs Opened in 1990, Pine Cliffs is a compact 9-hole golf course that is surrounded by magnificent old pine trees. This is not a long course, but it does demand accuracy. No more so than the much pictured devils parlour, a challenging par-3 that crosses the cliffs, with breathtaking views to the Atlantic Ocean. The Pine Cliffs golf course provides a well equipped golf academy that meets the requirements of both the hobby golfer as well as the tournament player. Celebrities are often spotted at Pine Cliffs, as they holiday in the luxurious Sheraton Hotel that is onsite. For several years, the club president was British motor racing star Nigel Mansell. 33
