Sandals Jamaica

As seven of the twenty Sandals resorts in the Caribbean are located in Jamaica, the golf course here near Ocho Rios on the northern coast of the island is a very popular sporting facility for many golfers on vacation, especially those Sandals residents who enjoy complimentary green fees.

Upton Golf Club first established the course as a 9-hole layout in 1951, designed by P.K. Saunders and this was extended to a full 18-hole track in the early 1960s. Sandals Resorts International acquired the course in 1992, changing the greens to Bermuda grass.

Laid out on rolling terrain, the course is characterised by narrow fairways with few forced carries and small greens that are relatively unprotected by sand, affording as relaxing a round of Caribbean holiday golf as you might imagine.

Caddies are mandatory at Sandals Golf and Country Club but carts are optional.
