Golf

Mahogany Run Golf Course With a reputation for 18 of the most beautiful holes in the Caribbean, the real challenge culminates in the spectacular Devils Triangle , a trio of holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The exquisite vistas tease even the most seasoned golfers into taking their eyes and minds off the ball. So challenging are these three holes that anyone who plays all three without a penalty stroke is awarded a special "I Survived the Devil's Triangle" certificate in the Pro Shop.
