The Carambola golf course was built by the late Laurence Rockefeller as a centerpiece for a 4,000 acre development, and the course was part of a luxury resort complex until the early 1990's. In 2003 a group of full and part time residents of St. Croix came to an arrangement with the owners to acquire half ownership in the course in exchange for making the necessary capital investment to bring the course back to its former glory. This arrangement went into effect in 2004 and the management of the club was taken over by the membership group. Since then, investment in facility improvement has been an ongoing process.

Winding through a lush, tropical valley on the northwest side of the island of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, the Carambola Golf & Country Club is truly one of the great treasures of American golf. Commissioned by Laurence Rockefeller, the course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., one of the most highly respected designers of the 20th century. With no expense spared, Carambola opened in 1966 to rave reviews and was considered by the master designer himself to be one of his finest courses. This Trent Jones signature course is a "must play" for any true lover of the game of golf.
