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.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
