Golf and St John are not two thoughts that seem to go together naturally. People come to St John for lots of reasons but not usually for golf; however, that is not to say you cannot get some great golfing in during your St John vacation. Mahogany Run Golf Course, a par-70, 18-hole course on St Thomas is just a short ferry ride away. The course itself is award winning and the vistas of the British & US Virgin Islands are breath-taking. Enjoy the comfort of Golf Carts, on-course restaurant, and a top notch pro shop where you can rent clubs, balls and shoes. Tee times can be reserved by calling or sending an on-line request.
The lush greens are truly green year round and even the non-golfer will enjoy the rolling hills and valleys which are home to hundreds of Iguanas, Mongoose, Brown Pelicans, Snowy Egrets, Kestrels, Black-billed Parrots, Banaquits, white-tailed Hawks as well as the magnificent seasonal migration of hump-backed whales. Covering over 110 acres are natural Mahogany trees, Genip, Monkey-no-climb, Papaya, Turpentine, Palm Mango, Lingum Vitae, gorgeous Bougainvillea, Ficus, Hyachinth, fragrant Jasmine and Flamboyant trees.
While Mahogany Run is well known as being one of the most beautiful courses in the Caribbean, it is also a fabulous course for both the beginner and the expert alike. One of the course's highlights and its well known 'signature' is The Devil's Triangle. As the name implies this trio of holes surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean is so challenging that anyone who plays these holes without a penalty stroke is treated to a 'I survived the Devil's Triangle' certificate by the award winning Pro Shop!
Enjoy an invigorating day on the links and then take your short ferry ride back to St John to relax in the comfort of your very own hot tub at our St John villa.
