Where is the best golf vacation you have been on?

Question

I'm looking at Jamacia anyone been there?

Answer 1

One of Jamaica's most serious golf locations is the Tryall Golf Club, about an hour west of Montego Bay. Founded by Texans in the 1950s, the resort is a collection of upscale homes owned by North Americans and Europeans. Tryall is a private resort area, and many golfers are also renters or owners of the resort's villas. If you opt out of staying at Tryall, a visit to their course may be arranged through hotel concierges. Staying at Round Hill Hotel, a small upscale hotel just east of Tryall, increases the ease with which such a visit can be arranged.



golf at Negril Hills Golf Club is a rare and novel experience, as you travel up and down the elevated tees to the valley fairways, twisting and turning around the guango trees.



Some of the best golf on the northern coast of Jamaica is at the Sandals Golf and Country Club. This golf area, formerly known as the Upton Country Club, was in a sad state of disrepair until about two years ago, when Sandals purchased and revamped the area.



Manchester Club is home to the Caribbean's oldest golf course. This golfer's treasure is found in the city of Mandeville on Jamaica's South Coast. Only nine holes, it is set in luxurious rolling hills and is worth a visit for aficionados.



Other resorts in Jamaica, such as Half Moon and Ironshore in Ocho Rios, Wyndham Rose Hall (also known as the"White Witch" course), Breezes, and Sandals, include challenging and fun courses and cater to the golfer with a family. These resorts are all-inclusive and will include, among other things, water-sports, meals, and spa time for family members less interested in golf.



Golfing on the island of Jamaica is a relaxed activity that generally does not require reservations or advanced booking. Making an impromptu decision to hit the links should be easy and can help open your leisure-activity options.

Answer 2

We went on a unique golf package to Williamsburg, Virginia and played a top 100 course called Golden Horseshoe, which had some of the best par 3s we have ever played. Also played Kingsmill golf resort River Course which might have had the best 3 finishing holes we have played in prior packages. The area was very historical with plenty of unique restaurants that set this place apart from other areas we have visited. Most of the courses we looked at in the area were 4.5 stars with about 16 available so there is plenty of selection and all in good shape.

Answer 3

If you go to Jamaica, stay at Tryall or one of the other enclosed resorts with its own golf course and do not leave the grounds. Jamaica is no longer a safe place.



My best golf vacation was to Cabo San Lucas. I was deployed to Iraq and met a new girlfriend for a week in Cabo. We played every major course there; Nicklaus, Dye, Fazio, Norman. They were all fabulous and the after-golf time was pretty damn great as well. It was like being on a honeymoon. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. We even found time to go marlin fishing and I caught a huge one.

Answer 4

I was doing vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and stayed at the Hotel Carribean Village. This hotel is placed in the middle of a golf-course that is part of the hotel. So to go to the beach I had to take a bus that was full of people going to play golf. The cool thing (for me) was that the beach itself was quite empty because all the guests of the hotel prefered to play golf ;-)



The opinions I heard from these people were quite positive and also the hotel was quite nice. As well you can do quite a lot of activities next to golfing, so your - maybe not so golf-addicted - family can lend a bike and drive to the nearby city or do excursions to places like Uxmal, Cancun, etc.

Answer 5

i haven't been to Jamaica but I've played Mahogany Run in St. Thomas, US V.I. It was amazing, but if you're talking golf vacation, one little island probably won't fulfill your needs. Honestly, I wouldn't go to Jamaica...the crime there is out of control. If I were to pick a golf vacation spot (multiple rounds and a hospitable environment) it would be Banyon Dunes in Oregon. 4 Amazing courses and very nice lodgings. Outside of Banyon, I would go to Scottsdale AZ. Jamaica is not a civilized environment.

Answer 6

If you don't want to leave the states, Pinehurst & Hilton Head Island are both good choices. They both have more courses than you can play in one vacation and are of the highest caliber. I probably enjoyed Hilton Head a little more because the Island is so great and the atmosphere is perfect.

Answer 7

I went to Scottsdale, AZ and it was one of my favorite memories. I play We-Ko-Pa and it was beautiful. i would suggest it. in the summer they are very reasonable.
