Tryall Club
The Tryall Club is home to a championship golf course that ranks with the best in Jamaica. This tree-lined and open parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in Jamaica.
There's plenty of water in play on the opening four holes. A tee-to-green tee shot is required at the par-3 2nd. Don't stray left or right at the water flanked par-5 3rd, and enjoy every minute as you play the par-3 4th, with the small Flint River to clear in front of the green. Hugging this iconic hole's leftside is the beach and Caribbean Sea.
Another noteworthy hole is the par-4 7th. Here the course incorporates an aqueduct, which once supplied the sugar and coconut plantation’s waterwheel. You play your tee-shot right through the aqueduct’s stone pillars.
Less water and more elevation change characterises the back-nine, plus some occasional fabulous vistas from the higher sections of the layout. The testing par-3 12th marks the highest point on the course.
