Montego Bay golf - do it in an exotic way
The White Witch of Rose Hall Golf Course, part of the Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall, is one of the most spectacular courses in the Caribbean, situated on 80 hectares (200 acres) of lush greenery in Jamaica's old plantation country. The course is named after Annie Palmer, the notorious "White Witch" and mistress of Rose Hall nearby. Ten minutes from the deluxe resort by wheels, the course was created by Robert von Hagge, who designed the course to wind up and down the mountains, with panoramic vistas of the sea visible from 16 of the 18 holes. Greens fees are $159 for hotel guests, $179 for nonguests. Wyndham Rose Hall Golf & Beach Resort, Rose Hall, has a noted course with an unusual and challenging seaside-and-mountain layout, built on the shores of the Caribbean. Its eighth hole skirts the water, then doglegs onto a promontory and a green thrusting 182m (600 ft.) into the sea. The back nine are the most scenic and interesting, rising up steep slopes and falling into deep ravines on Mount Zion. The 10th fairway abuts the family burial grounds of the Barretts of Wimpole Street. The 90m-high (300-ft.) 13th tee offers a rare panoramic view of the sea and the roof of the hotel, and the 15th green is next to a 12m (40-ft.) waterfall, once featured in a James Bond movie. Amenities include a fully stocked pro shop, a clubhouse, and a professional staff. Guests pay $125 for 18 holes, or $75 for 9 holes; nonguests pay $150 for 18 holes and $105 for 9 holes. Cart rental and the use of a caddy are included in the greens fees. The excellent course at the Tryall Club Jamaica, 19km (12 miles) from Montego Bay, is so regal that it's often the site of major tournaments. For 18 holes, guests of Tryall are charged $80 in winter, $40 the rest of the year. In winter the course is usually closed to nonguests; the rest of the year, they pay a steep $115. Half Moon, at Rose Hall, features a championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. with manicured and diversely shaped greens. Half Moon hotel guests pay $125 for 18 holes including caddy and cart; nonguests pay $130. Carts cost $35 for 18 holes, and caddies (which are mandatory) are hired for $17. The Ironshore Golf & Country Club, Ironshore, St. James, Montego Bay, is another well-known 18-hole, par-72 course. Privately owned, it's open to all golfers. Greens fees for 18 holes are $50, plus $35 for a cart and $16 for a caddy.
