Apes Hill Barbados—one of the Caribbean’s fastest‑ascending luxury golf and lifestyle communities—will once again host the Staysure Legends Tour from April 24–26, welcoming some of the game’s most accomplished champions to one of the most dramatic settings in world golf.
Now in its third consecutive year at Apes Hill, the Barbados Legends hosted by Ian Woosnam has quickly become a standout event on the global senior golf calendar. Major winners, Ryder Cup icons, and veteran tour champions return not only for elite competition but for an environment that blends world‑class golf with luxury living, wellness, and the natural beauty of Barbados.
Henrik Stenson Makes His Legends Tour Debut
This year’s field gains an extra spark with the debut of 2016 Open Champion Henrik Stenson, one of Europe’s most decorated modern players. His résumé includes six PGA TOUR victories, 11 DP World Tour wins, a FedEx Cup title, and a Race to Dubai championship.
“Henrik’s debut is a wonderful addition to what has quickly become one of the most distinctive and anticipated events on the Legends Tour schedule,” said Sunil Chatrani, Executive Chairman of Apes Hill Barbados. “While his presence brings tremendous prestige, the larger story is the continued rise of Apes Hill as a globally recognized destination where world-class golf, luxury living, and exceptional lifestyle experiences converge.”
Stenson echoed the excitement: “I haven’t been to Barbados for 20 years, but it’s a beautiful place, and the Apes Hill course looks incredible. I’m excited to play my first event on the Staysure Legends Tour in such a spectacular setting.”
Ian Woosnam’s Signature Event Continues to Grow
Hosted by Masters Champion and Apes Hill Ambassador Ian Woosnam, the tournament reinforces the property’s growing international reputation.
“From the moment we first brought the Staysure Legends Tour to Apes Hill, the players recognized it as something truly unique,” Woosnam said. “It offers top-level competition in a world-class environment, while showcasing the warmth, hospitality and beauty that make Barbados so special.”
A Championship Course With Caribbean Drama
Perched 1,000 feet above sea level, Apes Hill delivers panoramic views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, cooled by steady trade winds. Its championship layout—already regarded as one of the region’s finest—continues to draw acclaim for its strategic design, natural contours, and unforgettable vistas.
The accolades keep coming. Apes Hill was recently named one of only seven new additions to Golf World’s Top 100 World Resorts, and the only Caribbean newcomer. The recognition highlights not just the golf, but the resort’s holistic appeal: luxury accommodations, thoughtful amenities, tropical landscapes, and a strong wellbeing ethos.
“There is a touch of class about everything at Apes Hill,” said Golf World editor Chris Bertram. “The golf course will not disappoint even the most hard-to-please golfer; the accommodations are exceptional, and the amenities are expanding all the time.”
The resort’s Little Apes par‑3 course also earned the title of “Caribbean’s Best 9-Hole Golf Course” at the 2025 World Golf Awards.
Luxury Living and Lifestyle Experiences Beyond the Fairways
Apes Hill continues to redefine modern Caribbean luxury through a curated lifestyle offering that includes:
- Morning yoga overlooking treetop canopies
- Tropical nature trails
- Floodlit padel and tennis courts
- A newly opened beach club
- Farm‑to‑table culinary experiences
- Family‑friendly wellness and recreation
Environmental stewardship remains central to the community’s identity. Apes Hill is Audubon International-certified, with sustainability initiatives such as a bioswale system, extensive rainwater catchment, and on‑site farm gardens that produce fresh fruits and vegetables.
A World‑Class Field Returns to Barbados
Alongside Stenson, this year’s field features:
- Defending champion Scott Hend
- Open Champion Paul Lawrie
- U.S. Open winner Michael Campbell
- Multiple Ryder Cup veterans
The strength of the field reinforces the event’s status as one of the most compelling stops on the Legends Tour.
For amateurs, The Legends Experience returns, offering the rare chance to compete alongside golf icons under true tournament conditions.
A Showcase of Golf, Luxury, and Caribbean Living
While the competition promises drama, the Barbados Legends is a bigger opportunity for Apes Hill: a global showcase of a luxury residential and resort community that is reshaping the future of golf and lifestyle living in the Caribbean.
