(Montego Bay, Jamaica) – The Third Annual Jamaica Invitational presented by NIKE Golf gets underway this week. The 54-hole championship features Pro-Am teams from the United States and Europe. Players will compete on two of Jamaica’s best golf courses, Cinnamon Hill and The White Witch.
Cinnamon Hill Golf Course wraps itself around lush green mountains before it reaches down to the Caribbean Sea. There are more than 18 ways to love Cinnamon Hill – from Majestic Blue, the signature hole whose fairway fades into the aquamarine ocean, to the mountaintop tee overlooking the Rose Hall Great House, ancient aqueducts, and Johnny Cash’s home. The par-three 15th, with its greenside waterfall, was the tropical setting for James Bond’s “Live and Let Die”.
Winding through the mountains of Jamaica’s historic 5,000-acre Rose Hall Plantation, The White Witch Golf Course is carved out of 600 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside that features panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from 16 of its 18 holes.
White Witch was named by its creators, golf course architects Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril, after the 19th century beauty, Annee Palmer, who owned the sugar plantation on which the course stands.
Players and guests are enjoying the hospitality of Rose Hall Resort & Spa. This deluxe beachfront hotel, once a legendary 18th-century sugar plantation, evokes the historic charm and hospitality made famous by the island. Indulge in cool ocean breezes, a private beach, one of the Caribbean’s largest water park, a championship golf course, and the relaxing services of Soothe Spa. As the newest member of the Hilton family, this exquisite resort also offers the unparalleled benefits of the Hilton name, from personalized attention to their exclusive Hilton HHonors® program, redeemable for luxuriant hotel stays and dream vacations.
