Round Hill golf - do it in an exotic way
Golf is available at the famous Tryall golf course, less than 10 minutes away. Complimentary transportation to and from Tyrall (see bulletin board at Front Desk). Tee times must be booked in advance through the Front Desk. Payment for green fees cannot be charged to your Round Hill account, but must be made directly at Tyrall golf course. With holes that kiss the shoreline and flirt with the edges of jungle ravines, Tryall Club features the most celebrated golf course in the Caribbean. Tryall's 18-hole, par-72 championship course was designed by Ralph Plummer and has played host to such prestigious international events as the Johnnie Walker World Championship, last won here by Fred Couples in 1995. The signature par-three 4th hole incorporates the natural challenges of the Caribbean Sea and the Flint River, while the memorable par-four 7th hole provides a dramatic tee-shot through the stone pillars of the historic aqueduct that feeds the adjacent waterwheel. Tryall is famous for its caddies: lively, entertaining, experienced, dedicated -with an uncanny ability to track down wayward shots and to read the breaks on even the trickiest greens. The first six holes at Tryall are routed near the coastline, and apart from the romance of such a location, Mother Nature didn't imbue this flat portion of the property with many natural features. Thus, Ralph Plummer did what ever good architect should: he created the character but he did so in a manner that is peaceful to the eye. The land in no way looks tortured and the holes sit peacefully upon the property. In The Golf Course by Ron Whitten and Geoffrey Cornish, Whitten notes that 'Plummer was known for the attractiveness of his layouts and for his remarkable ability to estimates cuts and fills and shape greens and bunkers by eye.' The only man-made water hazards on the course are ponds found on the first six holes, namely at the one shot 2nd and in the landing areas for the second shots on the par five 3rd and 6th. (Forty three years later, the Club acquired the property to build a true coastal hole - today's 4th - which is also a water hole, albeit a totally natural one). Plummer used the fill from the ponds to build up the tees and greens a few feet, thus providing the necessary drainage on these first six holes. With no extraneous land movement from tee to green, Plummer's low profile design at Tryall still enjoys a timeless appeal.
