The Grand Bahama Open was a professional golf tournament that was held in Freeport on the island of Grand Bahama in The Bahamas from 1966 to 1973. It attracted many leading players from North America and in later years, Great Britain.
The tournament was hosted for the first four years at the Kings Inn & Golf Club, before moving to the Lucayan Country Club in 1970. The final three edition were held at Shannon Golf & Country Club.
