The Tryall Golf & Beach Club
A true masterpiece by Ralph Plummer
Perched on the rolling hills of Montego Bay, the 18-hole golf course at Tryall Golf Club stretches 6,250 m and is a testament to the talent of legendary architect Ralph Plummer. With a career spanning more than 40 years and more than 100 courses to his credit, Plummer has created a playing field here that is both spectacular and harmonious.

The course & its setting
Its genius lies in its ability to enhance the natural relief without cluttering the landscape: the holes meander through the undulating hills, offering a refreshing contrast with the first, flatter holes. The perfect balance between aquatic obstacles, strategic bunkers and sea winds adds to the technical complexity of the course.
One of the highlights of the course is the famous 7th hole, where players must make their shot through the stone pillars of an ancient aqueduct which once powered the water wheel of the sugar cane plantation — a challenge unique combining history and golf.
Route & Infrastructure
In 1992, for the Johnnie Walker Championship, a fourth hole was added with the same finesse as Plummer, skillfully mixing the ocean and the Flint River. The course now stretches to the sea before rising to an altitude of 180m, with new tees judiciously integrated.
Technical, magnificent and peaceful, the Tryall course is a must-see in the Caribbean, offering golfers an intense, stimulating, and always unforgettable experience.
