Montego Bay, Jamaica — The countdown is on for the 2026 Jamaica Invitational Pro-Am, better known as Annie’s Revenge, as the tournament prepares to welcome golf professionals and amateur players to Jamaica’s north coast from Wednesday, November 18, through Sunday, November 22.

More than a traditional golf competition, Annie’s Revenge is a destination experience. Across five days, participants combine three competitive rounds with a practice day, resort accommodation, group events and time to enjoy Montego Bay. The Jamaica Tourist Board includes the event on its official 2026 calendar, underscoring its place in the island’s sports-tourism programme.

Each team is built around one PGA or LPGA golf-club professional and three amateur golfers. The 54-hole team format offers participants a competitive challenge while keeping the social character that has helped make the annual event distinctive. The 2026 tournament is organized around the Half Moon resort and three well-known courses in the Rose Hall area.

Why it matters for Jamaica: Golf visitors come for more than a day on the course. Tournament travel supports resort stays, restaurants, local services and the wider visitor economy, while showcasing a different side of Montego Bay beyond its beaches and all-inclusive holidays.
Three distinct playing experiences

Meet the Montego Bay Golf Courses

The tournament features Half Moon, White Witch and Cinnamon Hill—three distinctive layouts within the Rose Hall resort corridor. The organizers say the courses are close to the Half Moon host hotel, making it possible to experience several styles of Caribbean golf in a single trip.

Half Moon

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1962, Half Moon blends a classic routing with carefully bunkered greens and a long association with Jamaican golf. It also hosts the event’s practice round.

Elevated championship golf

White Witch

Set in the hills of historic Rose Hall, this par-71 course is noted for dramatic elevation changes, sea views and demanding shot-making. Its name draws on the legend of Annee Palmer, the “White Witch of Rose Hall.”

Cinnamon Hill

This par-71 course moves from open coastal holes into the hills, passing tropical vegetation and historic estate features. The changing terrain makes it a memorable contrast to its neighbouring layouts.

The name Annie’s Revenge is a playful nod to the Rose Hall legend surrounding Annee Palmer, not a reference to a historical sporting rivalry. The folklore provides a memorable backdrop to a tournament shaped by golf and Caribbean hospitality.

Plan your Montego Bay arrival

Travel Tips for Golfers Visiting Jamaica

Fly into Sangster International Airport (MBJ). Half Moon lists its Rose Hall resort as approximately a 10-minute drive from the airport in normal conditions; traffic and the time needed to clear immigration and customs can add to the overall journey. Visitors unfamiliar with the airport can consult our Montego Bay Airport Guide and MBJ arrival timing guide.

Check your transport inclusions. Registered tournament packages already include round-trip airport and golf-course transfers. Separate private transportation is most relevant to independent golfers, companions staying outside the tournament package, or visitors adding sightseeing and extra hotel nights before or after the event.

Confirm golf-club baggage arrangements. Check your airline’s golf-bag policy, including oversized-bag fees, and tell any independently booked transport provider how many golf bags and passengers will be travelling. A comfortable vehicle for four travellers without luggage may not be suitable for four people plus full golf equipment.

Reserve independent tee times early. The event uses three major Rose Hall courses across its tournament dates. Visitors not participating in Annie’s Revenge should check directly with each course about public tee-time availability and any temporary tournament restrictions.

Golfers staying longer can combine their sporting holiday with time in Montego Bay’s restaurants, beaches and historic attractions. Our hotel-distance guide helps visitors compare popular resort locations before choosing accommodation.

Beyond the official tournament package

Independent Golf Holidays: Best Jamaica DMC & Best Jamaica Tours

Not everyone visiting Jamaica during golf season is a registered tournament participant. Golf clubs arranging their own trips, corporate groups, families and travellers staying beyond the event dates may need a separate local team to help coordinate the journey. Two Jamaica-based services provide different kinds of support.

Golf groups • travel planners • corporate visitors

Best Jamaica DMC

A Jamaican-owned destination management company that helps travel advisors, corporate clients and private groups organize airport arrivals, group transportation, hotel and event logistics, private experiences and on-island assistance. For an independently planned golf retreat or group visit, the DMC can discuss transport and destination requirements; golf reservations and venue access must be confirmed separately.

Best Jamaica Tours

For visitors arranging transportation outside an official tournament package, Best Jamaica Tours provides pre-booked, private airport transfers and private tours. Confirm the number of passengers, suitcases and golf bags when requesting a suitable vehicle. Its team welcomes guests with confirmed bookings at Desk 4 inside Sangster International Airport arrivals.

Book a private airport transfer

Good to know: The published Annie’s Revenge packages already include round-trip airport and golf-course transfers. Best Jamaica DMC and Best Jamaica Tours are independent travel-service options, not the event organizer or advertised official tournament transport partners.
