Staying at Sandals Ochi the course was included and so we played a couple of times. The condition is kept well, the staff very friendly and welcoming, and the course has some fun holes (a couple of drives with risk or reward options which mean hitting blind to get the reward), getable par 5's and reasonable par 3s.
Opening with two par 5's can really set you up for the round, and although the course isn't too difficult for the average golfer, you need to be deadly accurate with approach shots, because the greens are TINY. A lot of them were also quite slow, and you do need to get used to thumping the putts. Worth a play, if your near Ochi.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
