Sandals Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge at Sandals Golf and Country Club, and what should I watch out for?

You'll find the elevation changes are the real test here, especially on the back nine. Those uphill shots can really add strokes if you're not careful, so make sure to club up and commit. The wind can also be a factor, so pay attention to your ball flight.

I'm not staying at a Sandals resort. Can I still play, and what's the deal with green fees?

Absolutely, you can play even if you're not a Sandals guest, but expect to pay a premium. Resort guests often get complimentary green fees, so if you're staying elsewhere, budget for a higher cost that includes your cart and range balls. It's still worth it for the views and well-maintained course.

When's the best time of year to visit Jamaica for ideal golf weather at Sandals?

We recommend visiting between December and May; you'll get the driest weather and comfortable temperatures, perfect for a round. Avoid hurricane season from June to November, as sudden downpours can really disrupt your game and make conditions soggy. Early mornings are always best to beat the heat and humidity.

What's the overall course condition like, and are the greens fast?

You'll generally find the course in excellent shape, especially considering the tropical climate. The greens are typically well-manicured and roll true, but they aren't lightning-fast-they're more medium-paced to accommodate the resort play. Expect consistent lies in the fairways, which is a real plus.

Are there any specific holes at Sandals Golf and Country Club that really stand out?

Keep an eye out for the par-4 14th; it offers incredible panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea as you drive down. The par-3 17th is another beauty, requiring a precise shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green. These holes truly capture the essence of Jamaican golf.
