Golf in Jamaica

A small but historic golf scene concentrated around Montego Bay on the north coast.

Jamaica has a compact golf offering built around the north coast near Montego Bay, where several courses sit within a short drive of the airport and the main resort strip. It suits travellers who want two or three rounds inside a wider holiday rather than a golf only itinerary. Courses run from seaside layouts to hillside routings with significant elevation change and long views over the water. Caddies are customary at some clubs and are worth taking for local knowledge on greens that can be quicker than they look. Most visitors stay at all inclusive hotels and pay for golf separately, though some properties include rounds. The winter months are the most reliable weather window, with heavier rain possible in autumn.

Best time to play: December to April for the driest, most reliable conditions.
