Super golf deals at Super Clubs in Jamaica
Monday October 13, 2008 | 15:42:50 153 words, 26794 views
If you’re a fan of those all-inclusive resorts AND a golfer, you’ll want to look into the Super Club resorts in Jamaica. If you stay at one of the island’s three Super Clubs resorts – Grand Lido Braco, Grand Lido Negril or Breezes Runaway Bay – you can play at any of their owned or operated golf clubs for free. No tee times, either. Just show up when you want and play as much as you want for free. That includes the best one of the bunch – the Breezes Runaway Bay course. It also includes free instruction, both private sessions and on-course instruction. It’s a good golf course, 6,870 yards from the back tees with a fairly mild slope rating of 124, which seems a bit low to be honest, especially when the wind can come howling through with gusts up to 35 miles per hour. Look for full reviews of the resorts and the golf courses soon.

Hey Tim--I haven't been to Jamaica for, oh, 25 years. At the time, it was pretty safe for tourists to wander around places like Montego Bay and Negril without being too concerned. (Though there were diesel price-riots when we left, and had to get past road blocks of burning tires built by angry truckers.) But I'd heard that things had gotten dodgey in the past 10 years or so. Your take?

I lived in Kingston, Jamaica a while back, working for the AP, and it was pretty rough.
The resort areas go through periodic crime waves. They've recently increased security in Montego Bay, where I am now, to combat rising crime. They're also installing closed circuit cameras in other areas of the country. Still, if you stick to the tourist areas and the resorts, you'll be OK.

But I hate tourist areas and resorts (when not working). I still have a sugarcane machete I bought in Jamaica in a local market outside of Montego Bay where I was the only non-Jamaican for miles around. The resorts were boring in comparison.

Right! And a bad Oldsmobile was named after them. Those machetes are a lot cooler than those cars were...
