e design of e Abaco Club's course is enough to draw the attention of 2016 European Ryder Cup Captain Darren Clarke. In fact, Clarke owns a home at Abaco and has been serving as e Club's World Ambassador since early 2016. "I've always loved working on my game here prior to e Master each year, and the new practice facility is a Tour-quality practice area, the best in the islands," he said. With Clarke on board for e Club's vision, its notoriety and potential players will only increase. Golf aside, there's much more to e Abaco Club than accidentally slicing long drives into the Atlantic. For one, it's a community with everything from rentals to estate home lots to cottages. Abaco is also a true sporting club — from kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, bonefishing and tennis, there's no shortage of activity along its two and a half mile white-sand beach. It's a property where folks want to do more than just enjoy an umbrella drink with a view of a cloudless horizon (but that doesn't mean your sipping options are limited). Massachusetts- based development company Southworth Development is currently commencing a $10 million improvement that aims to bring a market, marina, improved facilities and new residences to Abaco in the near future. For a club that already has everything money can't buy, it will certainly be worth watching what follows for Abaco in the coming years. VUE ON GOLF V U E N J . C O M 100
