Three Quick Tips
 |
Find the right course for you. Each of Jamaica's 12 golf courses has its own unique design, personality and topographical features. From championship courses with Caribbean charm to brand-new, all-inclusive resort courses with seascape views, make sure you know all your options before settling in on a course. |
 |
Try a caddy. Caddying is a proud part of the golfing tradition, and is a typical practice in Jamaican golf. Although some clubs have mandatory policies for assigning caddies, other clubs make it optional. We recommend opting in when given the choice. Besides helping your game, they might even be able to teach you a thing or two! |
 |
Golf green fees and additional costs to keep in mind. Golf green fees range from US$30-$200, depending on the course. If you are playing on a resort course and not lodging at the resort, there may be an additional visitor fee. |
