You'll be
driven to play
your best in picturesque settings found only in paradise. Sandals
offers
some of the most challenging golf in the Caribbean on prestigious
courses
in Jamaica and St. Lucia. We've got everything down to a tee for every
level of skill, even for those who want to take their very first shot
at
it. Best of all, Sandals lets you score round after round without
paying
for any green fees. Any way you slice it, no other resorts include more.

 Sandals
Golf & Country Club, formally Upton Golf Club. Started life in
1951,
as a 9-hole course located 700 feet above sea level in Upton, a few
miles
east of the resort town of Ocho Rios, St Ann.
The original
nine-hole layout designed
by P. K Saunders, changed in the early 1960’s to become the 18-hole
golf
course we know today. The clubhouse also relocated a number of times
over
the years, before settling in its existing location.
In June 1992,
Sandals Resorts International
purchased Upton GC and set about creating the MOST ELITE GOLF COURSE IN
JAMAICA. All the greens were rebuilt with Tifdwarf Bermuda grass and
the
fairways resurfaced with Bermuda grass removing all the existing crab
grass
and weeds. Sandals now boast one of the finest Golf Courses in the
Caribbean.
Golf Digest Magazine granted a four star rating for courses to play
whilst
on vacation.
The golf
course, although comparatively
short at 6311 yards, par 71, offers a challenging, but fair 128 slope
from
the Blue Tees, while the ladies tees measure 4961 yards, par 72 with a
slope of 120. Facilities at the Sandals course include a snack bar and
beverage carts on the golf course and two practice areas, a putting
green
with chipping area, and qualified golf instruction by resident PGA Golf
Professional.

You
Should Know:
Caddies
are not included but mandatory for all guests (caddies are required by
all golf courses in Jamaica).
The
caddy will receive $14, of the $15 fee. One dollar, retained by the
golf
club, provides them with uniform and caps.
These
fees are paid to the caddy each day. For this reason we encourage
guests
to pay the caddy fee in cash upon registration in the Proshop.
The
caddies gratefully receive tips. Tips are given directly to the caddy,
at the discretion of the guest. There is no recommended amount.
Complimentary
transportation to Sandals Golf & Country in Jamaica is provided
from
Sandals Ocho Resort & Golf Club and Sandals Dunn's River Golf
Resort

Although
golf is not included at Sandals Antigua and at Sandals Royal Bahamian,
it is available at beautiful golf courses close to the resorts.

It'll be love at first
sight the
moment you enter your luxurious guest room. Where colorful island
décor,
sophisticated amenities, and beds as soft as a lover's touch create an
ambiance that's comfortable and seductively inviting. At each Sandals
Resort,
you'll find at least 5 different room categories - some with as many as
12. Every appointment and every detail reflect a passion for perfection
that sets Sandals apart, creating a standard to which other
all-inclusives
can only aspire.
Every spacious room is
elaborately
decorated to provide the ultimate backdrop for romance, air-conditioned
to keep you cool on those warm, passionate nights and features such
special
touches as a hair dryer, telephone, private bath and shower, safe,
clock-radio,
satellite T.V. and king-size bed, a perfect fit for two. Every detail
has
been thought of and everything you could dream has been included. So
whatever
you expect, expect more. Because at Sandals the only thing considered
to
be standard is our incomparably high standard of excellence.
 Whether
your suite is dramatically perched atop a coral bluff overlooking the
sea,
or serenely nestled in a tropical garden by the shore, you can be sure
it will feature a level of excellence in every detail from custom-made
mahogany furnishings to marble-accented bathrooms. Some Sandals suites
even come with their own private plunge pools; others with the
convenience
of true room service. All feature separate sitting areas, bars stocked
with premium-brand spirits, and private balconies so you can enjoy
sunset
celebrations and moonlight cocktails.
