I have played Mahogany Run in St Thomas a few times. The course layout and the spectacular views have always made it worth the cost ($140 - $175) even when the course was suffering from drought or disease. My home course currently charges $135 in "season" for non-members so its not a big jump.

 

I have not yet played in the Bahamas or San Juan; however, I have found the courses I have played throughout the caribbean to each offer challenging layouts with tropical views you can only get from the golf course.

Bill,

 

I spent the cash 3 years ago in Grand Cayman. For my experience, it wasn't worth the cash. The round cost about

$ 125.00, plus the rental ( maybe $40.00). A dozen balls added about $ 30 more, at the time.I booked thru RCI. Clubs were mismatched, grips worn and/or loose. Being from the NE like you, I hadn't played in about 5 months, and didn't play well at all.

 

My group had fun, but I probably would have enjoyed a day at 7 Mile beach instead. I had a chance to play last year in St. Thomas and passed.

 

But hey, even a bad day on the course...:)

We played at Port Royal in Bermuda in November and I couldn't have cared less if I never even connected with the ball. It was beautiful! One of those once in a lifetime experiences for me, so I was very willing to part with the $. It all comes down to what you're looking for and how dear those dollars are to you.
