White Witch Course
Montego Bay, Cornwall, JM






White Witch, etched into the rolling hills above Montego Bay, is as much a tapestry of Jamaican folklore as it is a challenging golf course. Legend whispers of Annie Palmer, the "White Witch," whose spirit is said to roam the grounds, a spectral presence adding an intriguing layer to every round. Architect Robert von Hagge's 2000 design unfolds across dramatic terrain, a distinctive modern era layout that delivers sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea from nearly every hole. The elevated tees and undulating fairways, characteristic of von Hagge's work, provide a visually stunning yet demanding test, often favoring a draw. While there aren't blind shots necessarily, plotting along the course is paramount to taking on the challenge. The course's location in the Rose Hall estate, once a vast sugar plantation, provides a tangible connection to Jamaica's colonial past. The club's open-air restaurant, perched high above the course, is known for its jerk chicken, a fiery taste of local cuisine that perfectly complements the day's round. The views and history add a memorable charm for all.
