Set against the vibrant backdrop of Jamaica’s north coast, the Cinnamon Hill Golf Course offers a distinctive blend of sport, history, and stunning natural beauty. Managed by Reggae Tours Jamaica and located near Montego Bay, this course delivers two contrasting golfing experiences: the front nine skirts the Caribbean Sea, unveiling striking ocean vistas and cooling coastal breezes, while the back nine rises into Jamaica’s lush hills, challenging players with elevation changes and panoramic views from nearly 350 feet above sea level.
Designed initially by Hank Smedley in 1969 and revamped in 2001 by celebrated architects Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril, Cinnamon Hill is no ordinary golf course. It occupies land formerly part of a sugar plantation, and echoes of this history remain visible—an 18th-century aqueduct and plantation ruins weave the island’s colonial past into your round. Golfers might also recognize the locale from its fleeting role in the James Bond film "Live and Let Die," adding a cinematic edge.
Natural features like a graceful waterfall near the 15th green and abundant tropical birds enrich the sensory experience. Each hole reveals different facets of Jamaica’s terrain, inviting players to not just play, but absorb the setting.
Cinnamon Hill’s reputation extends beyond aesthetics—named Jamaica’s Best Golf Course in 2022 by the World Golf Awards, the course earns praise for its design, environmental setting, and service standards. Reggae Tours Jamaica enhances the experience with private transportation, caddies, rental gear, and well-organized pick-up spots from nearby hotels.
This mix of history, scenery, and well-crafted golf terrain cements Cinnamon Hill as a must-visit for anyone seeking a rewarding round in Jamaica’s outdoor adventure landscape. Whether a beginner or seasoned golfer, the course promises an engaging game and a memorable connection to Jamaican culture and coastline.
