White Witch Golf Course and Spa Jamaica is a prestigious and luxurious destination for those seeking a unique and unforgettable golfing experience combined with relaxing spa treatments. Located in Rose Hall, Montego Bay, this exclusive resort offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and lush green landscapes that provide the perfect backdrop for a round of golf. The main attraction of the White Witch Golf Course is its championship-level 18-hole golf course designed by renowned golf architect Robert von Hagge. The course features dramatic elevation changes, panoramic views, and challenging fairways that wind through the hills and coastline of Jamaica. Golfers of all skill levels can enjoy teeing off on these challenging yet rewarding holes. Besides golf, the resort also offers a world-class spa experience.
I enjoyed the course greatly. My caddie was helpful and very knowledgeable with target lines and yardages adjusting for slope. There were some rough spots on the greens that must have been there for a long time. Generally the conditions were good although it was very dry.
The misleading component was that my golf now booking said the caddie fees were included but when I arrived they insisted that they were not included and I must pay. Overall the review I got was that Cinnamon Hill is in far better condition and likely best for those looking to maximize a single round of golf on the island, but the views and layout are likely more incredible at White Witch.
Besides golf, the resort also offers a world-class spa experience. The White Witch Spa is a haven of tranquility where guests can indulge in a range of rejuvenating treatments, massages, and therapies. Highly skilled therapists use locally sourced ingredients and techniques inspired by Jamaican traditions to provide a truly authentic experience.
White Witch Golf Course at Rose Hall
The White Witch Course at Rose Hall is named after one of Jamaica's most famous legends, Annie Palmer who was called the "White Witch of Rose Hall." It is rumored that her spirit haunts the Rose Hall estate, including the golf course. Rather than a tropical setting, the course has a unique mountainous terrain but the vibrant foliage, tradewinds, and pleasant ocean views are still in keeping with its Caribbean location. The golf course is challenging with an intimidating layout that features dramatic elevation changes and numerous well-placed bunkers. Although it is a difficult course, its scenery makes it popular amongst all golfers.
