White Witch course, Rose Hall

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2000

The White Witch course is a championship layout that ranks with the best in Jamaica. Some regard it as the best. There's also rumours that it's haunted, by Annee Palmer, the murderess White Witch of Rose Hall (see Did You Know section).

Here on the Rose Hall estate, and sitting alongside the also Von Hagge-designed Cinnamon Hill course, this tree-lined parkland course provides a wonderful test. Whereas Cinnamon Hill strikes out to the ocean, the White Witch takes you on an expansive inland journey. Here you'll explore the rolling countryside and lush greenery of the jungle, which sits behind Rose Hall Great House.

Stay&Play at Rose Hall: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

Did you know?

The Rose Hall Resort community in northern Jamaica comprises two championship golf courses (White Witch and Cinnamon Hill), and the now restored Rose Hall Great House. Sitting at the heart of the Rose Hall estate, this impressive mansion house was home to the notorious White Witch of Rose Hall: Annee Palmer. Known famously to have killed three husbands and taken on numerous slave lovers, she died at the hands of the one she loved the most.
