About Rose Hall

Rose Hall features multiple hotels to choose from during your stay: The Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa and multiple Iberostar options, including the Iberostar Grand Rose Hall, the Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites and the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach. The Iberostar chain of hotels is based on tiers. If you're a guest at the highest tier, the Grand, you have access to all of the properties, but those staying at other Iberostar resorts can't access the Grand's higher-end restaurants. Every Iberostar property and the Hilton come equipped with rooms and suites showcasing ocean or poolside views. All-inclusive options are available. Guests may relax at the spa or at one of the outdoor pools, participate in water sports on the beach, or enjoy the daily nighttime entertainment on property, including live music, professional shows and a nightclub. There is also a Star Camp for children providing activities and babysitting services. The two championship courses at Rose Hall, White Witch and Cinnamon Hill, are historic tracks also rumored to be haunted by the former plantation's 'wicked mistress,' Annie Palmer.

Caddies, Legends, and Ocean Views

Cinnamon Hill is not just a scenic golf course - it's steeped in rich history and full of character. Several holes run just feet from the shoreline, offering breathtaking ocean views, while others wind through lush jungle terrain that feels like a scene straight out of Jurassic Park. The course sits on what was once an actual cinnamon plantation, and the landscape still features cinnamon trees along with a variety of tropical fruit trees that add to the immersive Caribbean setting.

Our caddy, "Maestro," was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I not only enjoyed our round but also learned the stories behind the course. He told us about the legend of the White Witch and the Revenge of Takoo at Hole 10, pointed out filming locations from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die, and even showed us where Johnny Cash's former estate once stood.

One of the unexpected highlights for me was the birdlife - an absolutely stunning array of tropical birds unlike anything I’ve seen on a golf course before.

The course itself is beautiful, but navigation between holes could be improved. There are few, if any, signs to direct you, so having a knowledgeable caddy like Maestro is essential. Food options at the clubhouse were also very limited - just patties and beer when we visited - and while there is a sit-down café on site, it wasn’t operating that day.

Still, those minor drawbacks don’t take away from the experience. This course is absolutely worth a visit, and I’m happy to give it a full five stars.

Such an awesome course

Wow. Course is so awesome. From the ocean views, the skytees, the unbelievable awesome yet challenging layout, this place is the real deal. Honestly think this course has 2-3X better layout than cinnamon hill. Caddies at cinnamon hill will tell you not to play white witch, but don lt listen! The place is amazing besides some greens that have disease ,but as others mentioned, it doesn't ruin the experience. Don't recommend this for beginners or high handicappers, this course will test you. But there is a lot of risk reward off the tee making this very fun, but with multiple eagle chances to be had by skilled players. They also have a really good replay rate if you play both courses.

Great layout!

Such a scenic course! My caddy was great she was very knowledgeable and gave great instruction. Only downfall for the course were the greens. The pro shop was very upfront about the situation with the greens.

If you rent a set of clubs they don’t offer stiff flex they only have regular. Still had a blast tho-ya mon

Beautiful Course

Great course, friendly staff members and great caddie. Greens a little beat up but overall gd enough. My caddie Nadia was amazing and very knowledgeable of the course and it's layout/difficulty. Great guide.

I had an issue with my reservation when I got there, and the staff in the Pro Shop were amazing and understanding of the mishap. All was squared away and soon after I was playing my round. Thanks for and great time.

Once in a lifetime

This course was a great experience that you can not get anywhere else. I don't think I'll play a course with this type of layout with elevation changes and every hole was unique. 10/10 recommend.

Pretty good course

Overall I had a great experience at this course. The greens were a bit spotty but they rolled pretty well overall. My caddie Vernon was amazing he helped me out a lot with the greens. He guided us around the course and the layout was difficult enough to challenge a good player but easy enough to navigate with some smart course management. Next time I come to Jamaica I'll be playing here again.

No Other Way to Enjoy the Game

I had a great time with playing partner and our caddy for the round who stayed by my side and grew my confidence in the game. As a beginner player, playing with a caddy for the first time was a rewarding experience.

Amazing Experience

This course sits atop a mountain with amazing views of the ocean and beach. This course is very windy, but the caddy was excellent with the club recommendations. It also was a fine educational experience about the island of Jamaica from my experienced caddy.

Beautiful but…

The course is both beautiful and challenging. Unfortunately, the greens are not in the best condition. We had an excellent caddy, Kendra, who has been working there for 17 years.

Scenic views

The course is very picturesque with lots of elevation changes and stunning views of the mountains and sea. Overall, it was in decent shape, but it was obvious that they were struggling with some of the greens. It was a good island course and I definitely would play it again.
