JAMAICA – TRYALL CLUB<br />

Located 12-miles from Montego Bay,<br />

the Tryall Club is a 6,772-yard Ralph<br />

Plummer beauty built in 1960 and<br />

features spectacular ocean panoramas<br />

and exotic tree-lined fairways, with nine<br />

level holes by the sea and nine rolling<br />

holes in the hills.<br />

It has hosted over a dozen<br />

international competitions including<br />

the prestigious Johnnie Walker World<br />

Championship and Shell’s Wonderful<br />

World of Golf.<br />

Look out for the tee shot through the<br />

stone pillars of an historic aqueduct,<br />

part of a former sugar plantation and<br />

the par-3 4th, with a shot over Flint River<br />

to a devilish putting surface.<br />

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – CASA DE CAMPO<br />

A tempting-trio of Pete Dye-designed courses awaits golfers staying at Casa<br />

de Campo - one of the Caribbean’s most luxurious resorts. In the world’s<br />

top 100 courses, Dye’s masterpiece, Teeth of the Dog, skirts a jagged, rocky<br />

coastline so close you can feel the salt spray.<br />

Inland lies the designer’s lake-studded Links Course, and his third track,<br />

Dye Fore is a 7,600-yard monster that marches along a plateau perched 493-<br />

feet above the mesmerizing Chavron River.<br />

Casa de Campo is so extensive that guests are provided with a map and<br />

golf cart to help them get around. Besides the golf, there’s tennis, a marina,<br />

charter fishing and the remarkable Altos de Chavron, an exact recreation of<br />

a 15th-century Mediterranean village complete with cobbled streets and a<br />

collection of fine restaurants.<br />

ANGUILLA - CUISINART GOLF CLUB<br />

The CuisinArt Golf Resort and Spa, a member of The Leading Hotels<br />

of the World, offers one of the Caribbean’s best golf experiences in the<br />

form of the CuisinArt Golf Club, a Greg Norman Signature Design 18-Hole<br />

Championship Course with breathtaking views and challenging, dramatic<br />

holes.<br />

Players are greeted by a spectacular view of St. Maarten and the Caribbean<br />

Sea at the tee box of the 384-yard starting hole. The overwhelming visual<br />

appeal continues with holes 2 and 10 sharing a 16,000-square-foot green that<br />

rests along the Anguilla Channel.<br />

Large sea grape trees on the left and the Merrywing pond on the right<br />

frame the perilous drive on the 423-yard 16th hole that plays into the trade<br />

winds and finishes with an elevated green surrounded by water and protected<br />

by deep bunkers. The narrowing fairway on the 18th hole ascends 40-feet to a<br />

narrow green carved out of the native plantings.<br />
