Calling all golfers-is there anything better than a beautiful course with the sun shining above a breathtaking backdrop?

Royal Blue Golf Course and Ocean Club Golf Course, the two stunning, while rather challenging courses in Nassau Paradise Island, are perfect for golfers of all handicaps looking to put their skills to the test.

From professional athletes and actors to musicians and world leaders, here are a few of the biggest celebrities who also love to tee off here in Nassau Paradise Island.

In true athletic fashion, pros from all sports need some activity to keep them busy during the offseason. Former Braves pitcher John Smoltz has golfed at the Ocean Club multiple times over the years.

Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest athlete of all time, hosted his celebrity golf tournament here for more than a decade. Soccer legend Mia Hamm and pro golfer Brittany Lincicome have also made trips here.

In addition to athletes, musicians also need to take some time off during their busy year. The original shock rocker, Alice Cooper, stopped by to play a round in 2012.

To name some others, country singer Toby Keith, as well as Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres, have both enjoyed the course during some rest and relaxation time.

Throw some world-famous actors in the mix and Nassau Paradise Island has it all! Samuel L. Jackson, James Caan and Mark Wahlberg have all showed up to challenge the pros.

Jessica Alba and Angie Everhart have played 18 holes here, and Janet Jones-Gretzky-alongside her husband, Wayne-has also impressed out on the fairways. To top it off, Morgan Freeman, Kyle MacLachlan and Jack Wagner have all gotten pretty competitive out here.

In 2012, Michael Douglas hosted his Michael Douglas & Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Ocean Club to raise money for the Motion Picture & Television Fund.

As far as world leaders go, President Bill Clinton has been known to tee up here, as well as Dennis Haysbert, who played President David Palmer on 24.

The Royal Blue Golf Course at Baha Mar and Ocean Club Golf Course at the Ocean Club have a special ability to draw some of the most recognized faces in the world. Now, it's your turn to play! Start planning your trip to Nassau Paradise Island today, and make sure you include a round or two at our fantastic golf courses!
