| Jamaicans have always taken golf
seriously, more than likely inspired by their rich British and Scottish heritage,
accommodating weather and truly spectacular terrain. Lush, verdant fairway turf gives
woods and irons a comforting bite with elevated tees and photo-opportunity views of the
Caribbean. There are enough hills and valleys, blind holes and hazards to keep scratch
golfers on their toes. A three minute walk
from Sunspot villa in Runaway Bay, the Breezes Hotel golf course is
one of Jamaica’s most scenic and enjoyable. The Par 72 course is 6,870 yards and is
renowned for its long fairways and sand bunkers. This course has hosted many championship
events, including the Jamaica Open and the Heineken World Cup. Designed by British Naval
Commander James D. Harris 35 years ago, the course is a must in Jamaica for modern-day
golf purists, and is rated one of the 5 top courses in Jamaica. The beautiful Clubhouse
features a great pro shop as well as a full restaurant open into the evening until 10 p.m.
for dinner. The caddies are great, and the driving range is free. |
