Things to do in Montego Bay, Saint James Parish: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

May 8, 2022 Darwin Bolte

While this Jamaican spring break favorite is great for party animals, it can also be surprisingly low key – if you want. Montego Bay has excellent duty-free shopping, vibrant nightlife, and calm waters. Browse the local handicrafts at the open-air Harbour Street market, or the "hip strip" shops of Gloucester Avenue. The underwater crevices of Widowmaker’s Cave offer an intricate diving experience. Float serenely down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft and let your troubles melt away under the sun.

White Witch Golf Course

Situated on the historic 4,000 acre Rose Hall Estate, and sited on 200 acres of lush greenery and rolling countryside, The White Witch Golf Course is carved from the rolling countryside of Jamaica’s historic Rose Hall Plantation and is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril. This 6,758-yard, Par 71 treasure is named for the plantation’s beautiful but wicked 19th century plantation mistress, Annee Palmer. Legend has it that Annee’s ghost still haunts the estate, creating an alluring mystique that has fascinated island natives and visitors for generations. Winner of the "Jamaica's Best Golf Course" award at the 2015 World Golf Awards, also rated as the #1 Golf Course and #1 in Golf Shop Staff service by Conde Nast Traveler. The White Witch is considered one of the finest golf courses in the Caribbean, characterized by mountainous terrain, cool trade winds, colorful foliage and spectacular ocean views from 16 of its 18 holes.

Had the pleasure of playing this amazing course on March 6th, and with the help of my great caddie Patrick. Very knowledgeable about the course, and has a wonderful personality. The course itself has some of most stunning views I have ever seen. The changes in elevations are crazy!!!, a definite must play course when in Jamaica. The Pro Shop staff so friendly and helpful!! A special thank you to Keith, for setting up the tee times.

Cinnamon Hill Golf Course

Cinnamon Hill's diverse elevations offer a great combination of both links style and inland golf. Feel the cool ocean spray on your cheeks as you play alongside the Caribbean Sea, then hear the wind whistling through the pines as you tee-off on holes 16 and 17, 350 feet above sea-level. On the closing stretch, tight fairways are dotted with treacherous, strategically placed bunkers, inspiring the most competitive player’s best game. This is a test you will enjoy - enchanting panoramas framing your every shot.The Caribbean Sea can be viewed from 17 of the 18 holes and the one hole where it’s absent a majestic waterfall awaits your errant tee shot. The waterfall is the site where they filmed James Bond’s Movie Live and let Die and is only one component of the great history that is on the course. On hole #14 the winter home of country music superstar Johnny and June Cash can be seen from the fairway. As an added enhancement, one of the course’s biggest assets happens to be its expert caddies. Cinnamon Hill caddies are listed among "The Best In The World" by Golfer Magazine. Each caddy is expertly trained and ready to help you improve your game.Come, experience Cinnamon Hill and add your own story to its intriguing history. This challenging par 72 layout which plays just over 6800 yards from the tips has 4 sets of tees that offer a great experience for all levels of players from juniors to seniors.Proud Host of the 2010 LPGA Tour event ‘The MOJO 6”Rated by Golfweek as a Best Tour Courses you can play. Rated at #29 right after The Blue Monster at Doral.Please note: All rates include green fee cart caddy and all taxes as well as use of the driving range, short game area and putting green. Our Nike VRS club rentals are $55 and come with a free sleeve of Nike Golf Balls and our Nike shoe rentals are $20.

I think the best way to start this review is customer service/hospitality. We found out a different golf course had canceled our reservation the night before cruising into Jamaica. I frantically searched for a different course and found Cinnamon Hill. I wasn’t able to schedule a tee time the night before so we just showed up. The lady at the pro shop said no problem, go get some beers at the 19th hole and we’ll get your cart all set up. The Nike rental clubs were in great shape and they also threw in a sleeve of balls. The bathrooms were spotless and beautiful. We were required to have a caddie, which was included in our green fee. Our caddie was the absolute best, Wayne is a master at his art. He knew where to put the ball on every hole, however sometimes my ball wasn’t listening. Not my fault FYI, lol. Wayne also explained the history of the course and was our photographer on several holes. I can’t thank everyone enough for the best experience ever. Lastly I was going to post a picture of the course, but trust me when I tell you every hole is amazing.
