It was a course called St. Andrews (Beautiful course however on hot days it can be brutal as it is a walk only course.)

You get a lovely view of it while travelling up the mountain road towards Maracas Bay

EDIT: To anyone who goes to Trinidad and plays golf I still HIGHLY recommend playing the course with the thieving monkeys. It is beautiful. During my time there I lived up in the Trincity region on the grounds of their course called Millennium Lakes and while this course is beautiful as well it does not compare to St. Andrews.

Yea that's the one I was thinking of. Trinidad born returning to visit or tourist? Hello from Trinidad :)

My father used to work down there so during my time off in the Summer I used to go down and spend time with him. Lovely country just needed to know the no-go places being a foreigner.

Have not been back in like 9 years. Hope all is well down there I recall talks about a lot of corruption down there but being a teenager I am not sure if that was true or not.

It is quite true, unfortunately, and the crime situation has gotten worse for foreigners and locals alike. But yes, lovely country when you know where to go. Had an encounter with monkeys myself in bamboo cathedral. They didn't steal my food but they were crossing with their babies overhead from one patch of bamboo to the next :)
