St. Lucia Golf and Country Club
St. Lucia, West Indies

The St. Lucia Golf Club is located on the northern tip of the island and is set within the scenic rolling hills of Cap Estates. The par-71 plays to 6,836 yards and overlooks the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The course opened in 2001 and has since become one of the most demanding layouts in the Caribbean; the par-5 opening hole gets players’ attention right away with a fairway guarded on the right by trees and on the left by bunkers. First-time visitors will be inspired by the natural splendor of the course and the wildlife that lives on it.

Mahogany Run Golf Course
 The ship docks at 8 am this morning in  ??(see  below for hint).  A bustling commerce and relaxed customs regulations make shopping a popular pastime here. St. Thomas boasts gorgeous beaches and a snug harbor encircled by steep hillsides at Charlotte Amalie, her capital city. Pirates like the legendary Bluebeard once made St. Thomas home but now the fast paced international destination is a delightful stopover for golfers! Today you will be treated to Mahogany Run (18 holes; Par 70, 6,022 yards) a 325 acre golf resort on the rugged northern coastline, designed by Tom and George Fazio. The outstanding course winds along the coast, covered in the stately trees that give it the name Mahogany Run. Mahogany Run’s 18 holes includes the famous “Devils Triangle”.  This course is the tightest golfing layout you will find anywhere in the world. Beautiful, narrow fairways turn, bend and twist into the hills. Views of the water are awesome. The holes, like Numbers 13 and 14 are postcard perfect. They are treacherous, with slippery greens and nasty roughs. Supreme attention is demanded at every tee, because time won’t allow for retrieving lost balls. You might be advised to carry x-outs with you. This is golf at its best, but don’t be surprised to find you shoot ten strokes over your norm.

Visit www.GolfCruiseSpa.com/specials  to escape to the site of the PGA TOUR Champion’s Tour Turtle Bay Championship, The Arnold Palmer Course is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. The unique Hawaii golf course was created for any caliber of golfer to enjoy. When played from the Palmer (black) tees, the course will offer a stern challenge to the best players in the world. However, there are five sets of tees on each hole, and in some cases, six.

It is also varied in its scenery. The front nine of this course reminds golfers of true Scottish Links with its sand, water, wind and rolling terrain. The back nine takes a dramatic shift as it meanders through a jungle forest of ironwood pine and a wetlands bird sanctuary. The 17th hole is unquestionably the signature hole on the course with no less than nine craggy bunkers surrounding the landing area and extending all the way up to the green. The 17th green sits on a plateau only 100 feet from the ocean. The Palmer Course surrounds a beautiful wetland preserve known as the Punaho’olapa Marsh. This 100-acre preserve is home to many endangered species of Hawaiian birds. A man-made moat separates the wetlands from the golf course.
