Origins

The course was developed on the historic Rose Hall property and opened in 2000. Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril designed the layout, using the property's rolling inland terrain rather than duplicating the character of neighbouring Cinnamon Hill. Its name was taken from the long-running legend surrounding Annee Palmer, the so-called White Witch of Rose Hall.

Did You Know?
White Witch now operates only seasonally, closing from May through October.

Design Philosophy

The routing occupies elevated and strongly contoured terrain. Rose Hall describes it as extending across 6,758 yards, while contemporary descriptions emphasize the changes in elevation and extensive views across the property and toward the Caribbean.

Development

White Witch became part of the paired Rose Hall Golf offering alongside Cinnamon Hill. Rose Hall (Developments) Limited owns both courses. The operating model has subsequently changed: White Witch is now seasonal, closing after April 30 and reopening November 1 each year.

Recognition

Rose Hall cites Condé Nast Traveler recognition for the course and its golf-shop staff. The course has also been repeatedly included in Caribbean golf coverage since its opening.

Today

White Witch remains a distinct 18-hole, par-71 Rose Hall course. Caddies are mandatory at White Witch, and tee times can be booked through its dedicated Rose Hall booking page. On 20 September 2026 the course is within its published annual seasonal closure period.
