If you are an experienced golfer, one of the top Jamaica golf courses is The Tryall Club. Tryall is located just an hour west of Montego Bay, which is the perfect location for tourists looking for a challenge. This resort is a collection of upscale homes for North Americans and Europeans, giving it an up-scale feel. A visit to the course can be arranged through hotel concierges although it is a private resort area.
If you are a beginner and are looking to have a good time, the hub of Negril's all-inclusive resorts is one of the most popular courses. Being a beginner, you can fit right in at Negril Hills Golf Club as most of the golfers are first timers or golfers that go no more than a couple of times a year. The location gives you a rare and novel experience as you travel up and down the elevated trees to the valley fairways.
Head out to Sandals Golf and Country Club if you're looking for a little less upscale but an equally challenging course as The Tryall Club. You will find some of the best golf in Jamaica here with a plethora of quality and experienced golfers. Although it was in rough shape just a few years ago, Sandals was recently purchased and has been completely revamped.(2006)

The Caribbean is a popular vacation choice and Jamaica is one of the easier locations to get to in the Caribbean. Jamaica is about two and a half hours away from Miami and has a number of popular airlines flying in from North America. A much sought-after cruise destination, Jamaica also has well known ocean liners such as the Carnival, Celebrity, Princess and Royal Caribbean carrying starry-eyed passengers to and from.
Jamaica has innumerable world-class golf courses, including the Caribbean's oldest golf course. Most of the golf courses are situated in and around resorts, making them convenient to locate. Jamaican golf courses vary in difficulty and given the island's multitude of golf courses, finding one to suit every level of player skill and ability should be an easy task.
Some of Jamaica's best courses such as Caymanas in Kingston, the Half Moon Golf Club, Ironshore, the Tryall Golf Club and the Wyndham Rose Hall Resort in the Montego Bay area are all 18-hole courses designed by some of the best architects in the world. For a more leisurely 9-hole course the Discovery Bay or the Mandeville golf courses are popular choices.
You may have to be 25 to drive a car in Jamaica but driving ranges and practice putting areas in the golf resorts are all for catching you young and watching you grow. Most of the golf resorts offer family packages where kids get to play free and even have training sessions to improve their game.
