Travel to Jamaica’s Caribbean coast for a journey through The Tryall Club, a historic golf destination where ocean winds, mountain terrain and a centuries-old waterwheel shape the experience.

Originally designed by Ralph Plummer and later renovated by Andrew Green, Tryall moves from the Flint River and Caribbean shoreline into the hills above Sandy Bay. Along the way, golfers encounter historic aqueduct pillars, the estate’s approximately 300-year-old waterwheel and elevated views stretching across the Jamaican landscape.

In this Everyday Golf Wins episode, we explore the architecture, history and three memorable holes that define Tryall:

🌊 Hole #4 — Where the River Meets the Sea A 176-yard par 3 crossing the Flint River, with the Caribbean Sea along the left and powerful trade winds influencing every club selection.

⚙️ Hole #7 — The Waterwheel Passage A 440-yard uphill par 4 beginning beside Tryall’s historic waterwheel and aqueduct before climbing toward the Great House.

🌅 Hole #14 — The Floating Green A 457-yard par 4 where the elevated setting makes the green appear to float against the Caribbean horizon.

“The Floating Green,” “The Waterwheel Passage” and “Where the River Meets the Sea” are creative Everyday Golf Wins captions rather than official hole names.

We also examine Andrew Green’s thoughtful modernization of Ralph Plummer’s original design, Tryall’s international tournament history and the complicated plantation heritage preserved within the landscape.
