GO GOLFING ON ST. CROIX
Tee off on St. Croix, where ocean breezes, lush courses and turquoise waters elevate the game. Three celebrated courses offer the picture-perfect setting for golfers looking to enjoy a round while on vacation.
THE BUCCANEER BEACH & GOLF RESORT
The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort features an 18-hole, par-70 course with a challenging, yet very playable, layout designed by PGA pro Bob Joyce. With stunning views of the sparkling Caribbean and rounds typically lasting less than four hours, the course here is enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels. Electric carts are available, or you can opt to walk the course. After a round of golf, enjoy sandwiches, snacks and drinks at Chips n’ Slices, located in the Golf Pro Shop. The Pro Shop also has a high-tech golf simulator, allowing you to tee off (virtually) at 93 great courses worldwide.
CARAMBOLA GOLF CLUB
The spectacular Carambola Golf Club received a four-star rating from the prestigious GOLF Magazine. It was designed by renowned British American golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., who considered it one of his finest. The challenging par-72 layout winds through a lush, tropical valley. Plenty of uphill and cross-water shots dot the site, which is located on a former sugar plantation. The on-site Pro Shop offers snacks, drinks, rental clubs and electric carts. Bring binoculars for bird watching, as pelicans, herons and ducks inhabit the course’s many ponds.
THE REEF GOLF COURSE
Golf the most eastern golf course in the United States! On St. Croix’s tranquil east end, The Reef Golf Course is a fun, fast and affordable 9-hole golf course that meanders through the hills overlooking picturesque Teague Bay. Golfers can warm up on the driving range. While families looking for fun can test their skills at The Iguana at The Reef, an 18-hole, frisbee-style course that involves throwing a disc at a target. Five pickleball and tennis courts round out the offerings. Golf, disc golf and pickleball equipment are available for rent or purchase, and private golf lessons are available.
