Cinnamon Hill Golf Course at Rose Hall

Everything was amazing but they need an upgrade on the rental clubs

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.

Overall it was good round. Several of the greens need serious work. Good layout and fun.

The course was beautiful, the only 2 things that sucked were some of the greens were sandy and their are no signs that lead to any of the holes!

Great course great view. Great layout I’ll be back for sure. Only negative point : some green are rough, but overall they’re rolling good.

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.

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.

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.

My time was great, educational as well as fun with my caddie

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.

The long time golf set up a series of lessons for my lady friend to refresh her golf game. The level of instruction by Sebert and his assistants was exceptual. She made fantastic progress

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.

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

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.

The course is well maintained and challenging. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to grabbing another round.

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 😉

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.
