Cinnamon Hill
Cinnamon Hill Golf Course at Rose Hall is a well-rated and always popular layout. This tree-lined and open parkland course takes you on an expansive journey through parkland, then down to the ocean at 5, 6 and 7 for some stunning beachside holes.
The back-nine of this testing Von Hagge layout is routed through the jungle that encircles Cinnamon Hill Great House (a former residence of singer Johnny Cash). Here you'll find some notable elevation changes on several holes. Plenty of golfing challenge, as is usual with a Von Hagge layout, and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course.
