Description

Donnie Dawson, Deputy Director of Tourism for Jamaica Tourist Board, (visit Jamaica.com) talks with Holly and Rich about everything that Jamaica has to offer the traveling golfer. With non-stop flights from Orlando on Jet Blue and Air Tran, this beautiful destination is only a couple hours away.  Once you get to Montego Bay you are withing 50 minutes of 4 great golf courses that are all very close to one another.

White Witch Golf Course is about 1,000 feet above sea level with 16 ocean view holes. Situated on the historic 4,000 acre Rose Hall Plantation, and sited on 200 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside, The White Witch Golf Course is carved from the rolling countryside of Jamaica’s historic Rose Hall Plantation and is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril. This 6,758-yard, Par 71 treasure, staffed by the Ladies & Gentlemen of the Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort, Rose Hall, Jamaica is named for the plantation’s beautiful but wicked 19th century plantation mistress, Annee Palmer.

The Cinnamon Hill Golf Course at Rose Hill Course was designed by von Hagge and Baril with elevations that give the sense of both links and inland golf. You'll experience the best of Jamaica golf — the cool ocean spray on your cheeks as you putt on seaside greens, then the wind whistling through the pines as you tee-off on the 17th hole, 350 feet above sea level. This is a test you will enjoy, enchanting panoramas framing your every shot.

Tryall Golf Course is an unforgettable experience that blends the beauty of the Caribbean with the challenges of a world-class course. The course winds its way around the estate through the lush hills and palm groves down to a mile and half stretch of scenic coastline. Tryall is an 18-hole, 6221-yard, par 72 course, designed by Ralph Plummer, has been called “among the most beautiful golf courses in the world.” This tricky, wind-swept course offers stunning views, unique natural hazards and challenging greens.
