St. Croix Golfing
There’s so much to experience on St. Croix that it can get a little heady at times. There are ample opportunities for you to just spend a relaxing day at your own pace. If you’re looking for a chance to breathe and just enjoy the warm breeze and perfect weather of St. Croix, perhaps you need to take in a round of golf on one of the courses on the island.
Another accolade that St. Croix has to boast is that it harbors two of the best golf courses in all of the US Virgin Islands. While many Caribbean golf courses tend to be more on the, shall we say, “raw” side, St. Croix golf courses are world class and boast some incredible facilities. You’ve got your pick of two beautiful courses: Carambola Golf & Country Club and the 18-hole course at the Buccaneer Resort.
