Curator’s statement
When traveling for golf, what I’m looking for is scenery and a challenging course. When traveling outside the United States, you can experience some of the most picturesque courses that are designed along a coastline of either the Caribbean Sea or Pacific Ocean. Every tee box provides a frame shot. What I am also looking for is to cross off a course off that Top 100 bucket list. These are the three courses I recommend for Jamaica: Rose Hall White Witch, Rose Hall, Cinnamon Hill and Half Moon (Top 100).
