White Witch
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.

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.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
