Golf in Jamaica

Golf in Jamaica is in top form. When compared to other countries in the Caribbean, Jamaica stands as one of the top golf destinations.

Golfing in Jamaica all started in 1925. The Jamaica Golfers Association was born as a result, which is the regulatory body for amateur golf in Jamaica. The main functions of the Jamaica Golf Association revolve around the development of golf in Jamaica with emphasis on:

• Junior Golf

• Promoting the sport of golf in schools, colleges and universities in Jamaica.
• Assisting our tourism sector in the promotion of Jamaica as a golfing destination.
