The Cinnamon Hill Course at the Rose Hall Resort and Spa is situated on what used to be a large sugar plantation. Jamaica's past history is still present throughout the golf course in the form of graveyards and ruins of old homes. One of these homes, which can be seen from the second hole of the golf course, is the historic former house of Annie Palmer who was called the "White Witch of Rose Hall." The golf course's layout begins fairly open but gradually moves into the lower elevations of the Blue Mountains, where there is dense foliage guarding the fairways. The Cinnamon Hill Course at Rose Hall is not only popular for its lush landscape filled with historical sights, but also for its challenging game.

So much fun!

We had a GREAT time, booked a hot deal for $50 per person and man were we lucky! Paid the extra $15 plus tip for caddy. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! Unfortunately we got rained out on hole 12, but we will be back to finish the course for sure! Best course/most fun we have had playing golf on vacation!

Nice course

In Jamaica for 3 weeks this time around. Will play 4 rounds at this course. Two in the can already. I love this course that offers a relatively flat front and hilly and mountainous back. My previous rounds here were pre-pandemic. I thought some of the greens were a little slow this time around. Otherwise. I love this course and will always plan at least one round each time I visit Jamaica.

Excellent golf experience with a caddie

Our first time with a caddie whose name was Arnette. She gave us excellent advice especially on the greens. Highly recommend her if you play there.

Excellent course

Loved this course, staff was amazing and looked after everything. We stored our clubs in club storage for two weeks so we didn’t have to pack them back to the hotel. Took a caddy one day which was really nice. Caddies very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

Classic Jamaica

Basically two courses, the front 9 is a links course along the water and the back 9 is a mountain course. Greens, fairways and bunkers were all in good condition. Only complaint would be carts. The brake pedal would stay engaged if the gas pedal was engaged.

Keep in mind greens are Bermuda grass so while quick by Jamaica standards they’re slow by northern US standards.
