The “Dawn” of a New Day…

The mystical and romantic name “Aurora” is defined in the Latin dictionary as the Dawn… a new beginning.

What a truly fitting name

for the “reimagined” Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club. Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club (formerly CuisinArt Resort) formally reopened earlier in 2022 and is now managed by Salamander Hotels & Resorts. Resort Owner and a true visionary, Richard M. Schulze teed up the first shot on Avalon Links. This launched Anguilla’s latest attraction – a world-class short course with stunning views of Rendezvous Bay. In front of celebrities, dignitaries, friends, family and members, Schulze officially opened the nine-hole Avalon Links, which was designed by Greg Norman Course Design. Featuring eight par three holes and one par four, the course opens with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the course unfolds with a variety of shot angles, distances, and carefully integrated design elements to make it playable and fun for accomplished and novice golfers alike. The new experience complements Aurora’s already-acclaimed 18-hole

International Course, also designed by Norman and recently reopened after significant improvements. Schulze further plans to improve the Aurora Anguilla experience with the addition of an activity park featuring a 500-seat amphitheater for live entertainment, the reopening of island favorite Tokyo Bay restaurant, and the launch of a new charter flight service from Westchester, New York, on December 22 to make it easier to connect to this amazing resort. Honoring the natural beauty of Anguilla, Avalon Links is perfect for both golfing enthusiasts and non-golfers. Located within the boundaries of the International Course, it is challenging enough for experienced golfers who are looking for a quick round, while also those who wish to spend some quality, fun time with family and friends. The idea for a short course arose on a tour between Schulze and Norman and both agreed that the conditions of the place lent themselves to create something unique. The first hole begins with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and unfolds with a rich variety of tee shot angles, distances and carefully integrated design elements, including white sand belts and large areas of grass to make it playable and fun for beginners. Water features and a double green provide elements of excitement, and a short Surrounded by turquoise waters Aurora International–Championship Golf Course
