East of Magens Bay is the island's only
option for golf - but what an option it is. The 18-hole championship course owes its design
to George and Tom Fazio and features the famous 'Devil's Triangle' seaside holes. Greens
and half-cart fees are $165. Club rentals cost $60.

On Mafolie Hill, 850 feet above Charlotte Amalie, the eponym-
ous hotel has the feel of a Danish colonial villa, and offers a dramatic vista and popular
alfresco restaurant. The good points: killer harbor views considering the relatively low
prices. The not-so-good points: room furnishings are reminiscent of a budget motel chain
in the US, and Mafolie's location is far from town, making wheels necessary. Try to avoid
the rooms above the restaurant, which are tiny and can be noisy. If the free wi-fi is import-
ant to you, be sure to ask for a room with good reception.
