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.

Nice course

Beautiful track starting along the coastline in what originally were sugar fields then in the back 9 meandering uphill to gorgeous views mountain views. Friendly personnel, competent caddie, decent greens and overall good condition of fairways.

Good value for the money considering playing in Jamaica near many resorts.

Great outing!

Nice course layout! I had a caddy who knew the course down to the slope of each green.

Vacation golf at its best

This is a wonderful course. It’s beautifully maintained in an almost ideal location. Both ocean and mountain holes. One can make the he course as difficult as one wants.

Fantastic island course

Amazing views. Multiple picturesque holes. Very challenging. Played 9 of 18 holes with a caddie & rental clubs before getting rained out. It was so good that I came back later in the week to play with a new friend that I met while attempting to wait out the rain.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s visiting Montego Bay on vacation or for business. Can’t wait to come back and play again. This time with my own clubs because that’s the reason why I didn’t dominate the course 😉

Nice Course

Great course, pace of play was way too long. Please ensure people have correct course etiquette ie. Let pairs move ahead of threesomes and foursomes. No reason to have a four plus hr of parking lots waiting 12 minutes a hole.

Golf in Jamaica

If you are Jamaica and are tired of sitting by the pool check out the Cinnamon Hill golf course. Course is easy to get to and not over crowded. I think October is their slow season. Tees and fairways are in great shape. Greens were in good shape but considerably slower than I am used to in MN. Our caddy Erica (22yr veteran) was phenomenal! Her yardage calls outs very good! She was spot on with my Arccos app. We rent clubs. They had 3 levels. $35,45,55. Nike, Callaway Epic, Callaway Stealth. We did the epics. Which worked fine. Only issue was they needed regriped. We brought our own shoes and balls. The jungle tends to eat balls and they are spendy here.

Rough shape (rentals and greens) still worth it

Likely a bad season for the course. Greens were apparently recently punched, but that wasn't the problem. Greens were 80% sand/dirt, 20% grass. Brutal greens. Nice fairways. Front 9 considerably easier than the back, back 9 gets you into the countryside, a lot less forgiveness outside the fairways. Incredible views, tough course conditions, but nearly no one out there so you can fly through a round. Didn't hate the green fees, but my club rentals were HAGGARD. Still enjoyed my time. Recommended.

Hurricane Beryl

I played this course a few days after the hurricane so of course I didn’t play the bunkers at all. Most of the bunkers were unplayable. My son did point out that there was concrete in the bunkers and there was plenty of it. I have no idea how you build a bunker so I don’t know if the storm just exposed it or not so I’ll give them a pass. The fairways needed some TLC. I’ll also give them a pass because of the hurricane. The layout of the course is nice. Many challenging holes. I don’t have gps available to me and I chose to not use a caddy. Bad choice. Should’ve used the caddy. That would’ve saved me about 10 strokes. Bad enough I rented clubs, on top of the rented clubs I had no distances. There are plenty of elevation changes and enough doglegs that you would be better off with the caddy for at least the first go round. For instance, there is a par 5 on the back 9 with a steep drop in elevation and it has a slight dogleg to it. You also needed to carry a hazard. I could’ve used some guidance on that hole.

Carry enough balls based on your skill level. I’m a 14 handicap and I rarely lose balls. I lost about 5 balls in no time.

The green had been aerated a couple of weeks before and hadn’t recovered from that yet.

Staff was very cordial. I loved the fruit trees on the course. I left with a bag full of mangoes and other fruits.

I would play the course again but maybe later on in the year when the course should

Be in better shape.

Golfing in Montego Bay Jamaica

The staff was great. They came to our resort to pick us up, and took us back after our round. The greed had just been aerated, and could have used some more sand. The rest of the course was well maintained and in decent shape. Some of the holes have fantastic views. The cart paths are narrow and in need of some repair. Overall we really enjoyed Cinnamon Hill.

Close to perfect!!!

This course has some of the best views of the ocean on the front 9 and some of the best views of the jungle on the back 9, that alone is worth the money, starting easy on the front 9 and challenging you on the back 9, good for all skill levels, I highly recommend this to all golfers, feel free to take a none golfer with you to roll with you to enjoy the views and take pictures and video of your play so you don't have to, and slow the game play.

Best luck on you're game, hope you enjoy the course as much as we did if not more.

Great challenging course, its only downfall are the greens. Greens are in super bad shape. Most hazards are playable, some can use some TLC. Tee box and fairways properly care for. Beautiful course,

Great course with view of the Ocean, caddie was amazing and very knowledgeable of the course. The only down fall are the greens (really bad shape) all greens. Tee box and fairways are in great shape - hazards in somewhat good condition (some bunkers unplayable). Other then greens - beautiful course.

Poor condition

This course is in the worst condition of any course I’ve ever played. The greens are mostly dirt, the bunkers have grass growing all over and many of the fairways are scruffy.

The layout is great but it’s a shame they’ve let the course deteriorate so much from the last time we played 4 years ago
