Nassau Golf

NASSAU, Bahamas - Getting to talk to an actual Bahamian can be a lot harder than you'd think on the country's largest island.

Especially if you're staying on luxury offshoot Paradise Island with its casino resort/marina wonderland, filled with other tourists - almost all white - strolling along, shopping at the same American chain stores they shop at back home.

Golfers looking for at least a smidgen of authentic travel experience can break from this pattern by playing Cable Beach Golf Club in the afternoon.
