Mahogany Run

The Mahogany Run Golf Course is on the North shore of St. Thomas in North America and is home of the Devil’s Triangle. This North American golf course has a rugged and beautiful location with imposing cliffs near the ocean. Jim and Robert Armour were the people behind the development of this scenic golf course. They carved it out from the rugged landscape of the region. The Mahogany Run Golf Course is the island’s only golf course and was designed by George and Tom Fazio in 1980. The Golf Digest has praised it as a wonder of engineering because the course had to be carved out by blasting as it stood to be a hard geographical nature of the region. The Mahogany Run Golf Course occupies an area of almost 110 acres and the greens of the course spread over 77,000 square feet with snake like fairways that give it the perfect picturesque look.

The view of the ocean from the golf course is a charming one and the high point of the golf course is its signature hole- the Devil’s Triangle that is always a challenge for golfers. The Mahogany Golf Course stretches 6,022-yard and is a par-70 course with 18 holes. Ginn Resort presently operates this golf course. The golf course welcomes golfers all through the week; the public golf course here is situated in the town of Charlotte Amalie. Visitors can reach there in only fifteen minutes from the ferry dock of Red Hook. Contran Resorts painstakingly developed the irrigation system for the greens in 1994 when they bought it from its previous owners.
