Virgin Islands Golf Vacation and Courses, St Croix Golf at The Buccaneer Hotel Resort

Caribbean Virgin Island vacation packages and special offers

"Prized booty: The Buccaneer Resort in St. Croix...is considered to be the most scenic layout on St. Croix. A trio of holes plays along one of the resort's three pristine white sand beaches, considered to be among the Caribbean's finest." (Travel and Leisure Golf, 2007)

A par 70, 18-hole golf course encompassing 5,668 yards with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea from 13 holes, The Buccaneer Golf Course was designed by Bob Joyce in 1973. Challenging, yet very playable, The Buccaneer is an ideal resort course - minutes from your guest room door, rounds of less than four hours, and fun for golfers of all skill levels!

Senator Edward Kennedy remarked after playing the #3 signature hole, "The only problem with this hole is that it's so beautiful, you don't want to leave the green."

Each summer, we make improvements to the course, and this past summer was no different. We restored the 2nd green to its original design (the lower level had settled over the years) and widened it on its western side to gain some more pin placement options on the left side of the green. We also raised the left side of the fairway on the 10th hole to make it more receptive to tee shots.

Meet our Pro
Tim Johnston has served as Golf Pro at The Buccaneer for 32 years. Originally from upstate New York, Tim worked at a couple of other Caribbean resorts before soon finding his home at The Buccaneer.

In his long tenure at the resort, Tim has memorized every nuance of the curvaceous 18-hole course. "What makes The Buccaneer's course unique is not only that it's a seaside course with many stunning views of the Caribbean, but that there is such a variety of holes." He believes the course is reachable and playable by the average player. Tim says when it comes to repeat guests, "when I see their names on the arrival sheet, I just go ahead and book them for the next day. This is one of the advantages of The Buccaneer, we get to meet and know all the guests."

Walk the Course
Come along with our pro, Tim Johnston, as we walk the course and give you playing tips. Assuming men hit a five iron 150 yards, and women a 6 iron 100 yards, adjust these recommendations according to your actual club selection at that distance. These recommendations are from the white tees for men and the red tees for women.

Hole 1: A slight dogleg left to an elevated green. Your tee shot should favor the left. Due to elevation, your approach may require one club more than you'd think. The safe area is the right side of the green.
