It is home to the resort's challenging 18-hole, par 72 golf course, designed by Jim Fazio. Offering unparalleled views of the bay, the course stretches 60-acres along the sea front, half of which is built on the flat coastal plain and the other half of which is carved out of the hillside above the bay and the resort. Golf instruction, carts, and rental clubs are available.

High on a hill overlooking the northern Grenadines, with sweeping views over the resort and the reef, is the exclusive Villa Monte Carlo. Located here is the European-style casino - Trump Club Privee, La Varenne - a European gourmet restaurant, as well as an elegant ballroom for private functions.
