Open
7 days a week - 7am to 6pm
The par-72
Carambola golf course was built by Laurence Rockefeller as the
centerpiece of a luxury Caribbean resort complex. Designed by Robert
Trent Jones Sr., one of the most highly respected designers of the
20th century, Carambola opened in 1966 to rave reviews and was
considered by the master designer himself to be one of his finest
courses.
 
Winding through a lush, tropical valley on the northwest side of the
island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the Carambola Golf &
Country Club is truly one of the great treasures of American golf and
the finest course in the Virgin Islands. This challenging, spectacular
Trent Jones signature course is a Caribbean gem and a "must play" for
any true lover of the game of golf. Carambola has received a four star
rating from GOLF Magazine.
Come to enjoy a perfect Caribbean golf vacation and stay to enjoy the
unspoiled, picturesque and private island of St. Croix. You will fall
in love with the Carambola Golf & Country Club and with its beautiful
island home.

Carambola's History
The Carambola region is rich with history. The Carambola valley was
once a great sugar plantation. Indeed, the ruins of an 18th century
sugar factory are still to be seen behind the golf course clubhouse.
Sugar cane was grown in the valley until the early 1960's when the
late Laurence Rockefeller bought most of the property in the area
because he felt that it was an ideal location for the development of
winter homes and a luxury resort. To set this in motion he built the
golf course as its centerpiece. While Mr. Rockefeller himself never
did any further development in Carambola, a hotel was built on the
north shore and over the years some one hundred homes have been built
in the Carambola area. These homes range from spacious hill-top
residences to condominium style villas on the golf course, all within
an exclusive gated community.
In addition to the amenities provided by the club, the close proximity
to the beautiful
north shore provides swimming from sandy beaches in warm Caribbean
waters, boating, fishing and scuba diving, all making it an
exceptionally desirable warm weather home location.
