Best Bahamas resort for golf/gambling/restaurants?

Looking to go to Bahamas for 3 nights on the last weekend of October for a bachelor party with a large group. The important features are:

- Near to good golf courses (well, none of us are any good, so as long as it's in good shape and not overly busy)
- Near to good restaurants (we're somewhat food snobs)
- Near (preferably on-site) gambling

Right now, we are looking into the Westin at Our Lucaya (at $180/nt). Is this a good choice? Or is Atlantis or somewhere else a better fit?

Thanks!

I say go with Westin. Two courses, Lucayan Golf and Country Club and the Reef Course (links), a casino run by Isle of Capri, and all types of restaurants both at the resort (good but very pricey) and across the street at the Port Lucaya Marketplace and Marina. Atlantis will cost a ton, and it is very expensive to play their golf course unless you are an extremely high roller and play mucho in their casino at very high minimums.

You also might look into the Raddison and the Crystal Palace on Cable Beach, there is a very good golf course there as well as some good restaurants close by.

Have a great time.

While not big on restaurants, Four Seasons in Exumas has an unbelievable golf course, and a small casino and spa, and you get 4 seasons treatment! And the beaches are superior to any in Paradise, Grand Bahamas, or Providence.
