Tryall Golf Club In Jamaica

An ideal time-tested mix of fun and challenge. With holes that kiss the shoreline and flirt with the edges of jungle ravines, Tryall Club features the most celebrated golf course in the Caribbean. Tryall's 18-hole, par-72 championship course was designed by Ralph Plummer and has played host to such prestigious international events as the Johnnie Walker World Championship, last won here by Fred Couples in 1995. The signature par-three 4th hole incorporates the natural challenges of the Caribbean Sea and the Flint River, while the memorable par-four 7th hole provides a dramatic tee-shot through the stone pillars of the historic aqueduct that feeds the adjacent waterwheel. Tryall is famous for its caddies: lively, entertaining, experienced, dedicated -with an uncanny ability to track down wayward shots and to read the breaks on even the trickiest greens.
