One of the most celebrated courses in the Caribbean, Tryall Club features holes that skirt the water and the jungle. Designed by Ralph Plummer, Tryall’s 18-hole, par-72 championship course has been host to the prestigious Johnnie Walker World Championship on a number of occasions. Noteworthy holes include the par-3 4th that incorporates the natural challenges of the Caribbean Sea and Flint River, and the par-4 7th, which provides a dramatic tee-shot through the stone pillars of a historic aqueduct.
This classic Robert Trent Jones Sr. course is sculpted out of the foothills of the western Jamaican coastline, and has an international reputation for being challenging and breathtaking. A member of Jack Nicklaus’ “Great Golf Resorts of the World,” Half Moon has hosted a number of prestigious tournaments including the Jamaica Open Golf Championship, the Dunhill Cup Final of the Americas, and the Red Stripe Pro-Am. With 7,119 yards of difficult driving areas, plenty of bunkering and undulating greens, this course puts up a challenge. Among its memorable holes are the 535-yard third hole and the relatively short, 362-yard fourth hole.
Winding through the mountains of Jamaica’s historic 4,000-acre Rose Hall Plantation, The White Witch golf course is carved out of 600 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside that features panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from 16 of its 18 holes. Conveniently located just ten minutes from the Ritz-Carlton Golf and Spa Resort.
Cinnamon Hill Ocean Course, located at Wyndham Rose Hall Resort and Country Club, offers a variety of mountain, island and ocean views. Cinnamon Hill is situated on what used to be a 400-acre sugar plantation, and remnants of the area’s history, such as inlaid stone walls and sugar mill plantation ruins, are sprinkled throughout the mountains and valleys. Stretching from Jamaica’s lush Blue Mountains out to the coast, Cinnamon Hill offers nearly 7,000 yards of greens and tees suited to players of all skill levels.
The Lucayan Course pits your golf skills against Dick Wilson’s design and the natural wonders of Grand Bahama Island. Testing precision rather than distance, with doglegs, elevated greens and thick stands of tropical foliage, The Lucayan is a good test for any level of player. The tall trees give shade from the sun and other players on the course. With wide target areas off the tee and well-protected, elevated greens, it's a great place to enjoy a leisurely round. Built in 1962, The Lucayan Course is an Audubon-affiliated member of the USGA and The Metropolitan Golf Association.
This 18-hole, par 72 championship course is designed by Tom Weiskopf and operated by Troon Golf. Weiskopf's PGA course features meticulous seaside green and tee settings, alternating fairways and breathtaking signature holes stretched over 7,100 yards. An on-site Pro Shop, teaching pro and Clubhouse complement this remarkable golfing experience. Tee times can be reserved 60 days in advance of the requested day of play and will be held with the authorization of a major credit card.
