Annie’s Revenge – Jamaica Pro‑Am 2025

Annie’s Revenge — the Jamaica Invitational Pro‑Am — returns to Montego Bay on November 19–23, 2025 for five days of team competition, luxury hospitality, and seaside golf at Jamaica’s premier courses, with Half Moon as the host hotel and play across Half Moon, Cinnamon Hill, and White Witch. The event blends a PGA‑style tournament format with island leisure, positioning itself as “the most enjoyable golf party in the Caribbean” and anchoring Jamaica’s late‑November sports calendar.

What Annie’s Revenge is

Annie’s Revenge is Jamaica’s flagship international pro‑am, inviting teams of one golf professional and three amateurs to compete over three rounds on Montego Bay’s marquee courses, paired with nightly functions and all‑inclusive dining. The tournament’s nickname nods to the legend of Annie Palmer, the “White Witch of Rose Hall,” whose mythos infuses the Rose Hall golf estate and the White Witch course with a touch of local lore.

2025 dates, host hotel, and courses

Organizers confirm the 2025 edition runs Wednesday through Sunday, November 19–23, with the Half Moon resort serving as the official host hotel and shuttle hub. Competition is staged on the Half Moon Golf Course, Cinnamon Hill Golf Course, and White Witch Golf Course, all within a short transfer of the resort to streamline morning starts and post‑round returns.

Tournament format and schedule

The Jamaica Pro‑Am is structured as a 5‑day, 4‑night program with arrival day activities, three days of team competition, and an awards evening to close. Previous programs outline shotgun starts, a 36‑hole cut and divisional flighting, and a final‑day showdown followed by a farewell dinner and presentations, giving the week a tour‑style cadence without sacrificing vacation time.

How teams are composed

Teams traditionally consist of one host professional and three amateurs, a classic pro‑am build that allows club pros to lead member groups or invited guests in a destination event. Registration is handled individually for pros and amateurs, with entry packages covering accommodations, golf, and official functions.

Why it is called “Annie’s Revenge”

The title references Annie Palmer, the storied “White Witch” of Rose Hall, whose legend is tied to the estate that includes White Witch and Cinnamon Hill courses; trade winds, elevation, and undulating greens provide the on‑course “revenge” in challenging shotmaking. Golf writers frequently link the tournament’s name to Palmer’s myth and the Rose Hall setting, a signature narrative thread for the event.

Course highlights

• Half Moon: A Robert Trent Jones Sr. design modernized by Roger Rulewich, stretching 5,035 to 7,120 yards with well‑bunkered greens and trade‑wind strategy around a classic bow‑tie routing.
• Cinnamon Hill: A Rose Hall course known for seaside holes, plantation history vistas, and elevated inland tees that blend scenery with engaging shot values.
• White Witch: A von Hagge and Baril design famed for panoramic views, rolling terrain, and lore steeped in the Annie Palmer legend, offering formidable windswept tests.

Hospitality and off‑course experience

Annie’s Revenge is marketed as a complete destination golf week with nightly functions, inclusive food and drinks, and social events that celebrate Jamaican culture and music. The host resort and nearby venues lean into warm island hospitality, creating a community atmosphere that keeps many teams returning year after year.

2025 travel planning

• Book the host hotel: Half Moon anchors the event and sits minutes from all three courses, simplifying logistics and maximizing downtime.
• Arrive a day early or stay longer: Organizers extend pre‑ and post‑night rates for those combining the tournament with a longer Montego Bay vacation.
• Manage wind and heat: Morning trade winds and tropical sun are part of the challenge; hydration, sun protection, and wind‑aware club selection pay dividends.

Sample week flow

• Wednesday: Arrivals, registration, and a welcome reception at the host resort.
• Thursday–Saturday: Shotgun starts, team scoring, and 36‑hole cut and flighting after day two.
• Sunday: Final round, awards dinner, and evening celebrations with peers and pros.

How to register

Host golf professionals and amateurs submit individual entries through the tournament site, selecting packages and confirming team details; demand from clubs and returning groups means early registration is prudent. Dedicated pro registration and information pages outline inclusions, schedule, and requirements.

Media and endorsements

Coverage from golf media and visitor features consistently praise the event’s blend of competitive edge and Caribbean vacation feel, highlighting the course variety and social programming. Jamaica’s official tourism channels list the 2025 dates and Montego Bay location, reinforcing the event’s profile on the national calendar.

Why Montego Bay is ideal

Montego Bay concentrates three championship courses, a storied golf history from the Johnnie Walker World Golf Championship at Tryall, and resort infrastructure that supports pro‑am weeks smoothly. Short shuttles, beachfront downtime, and culinary variety make the setting as appealing as the golf.

Tips for first‑timers

• Build a wind game: Practice knockdowns and trajectory control for White Witch and seaside Cinnamon Hill holes.
• Lean on caddies: Local caddies at Half Moon and Rose Hall courses offer invaluable reads and strategy insights shaped by trade winds.
• Pace the week: Balance competitive focus with recovery in the tropics to finish strong on finals day.

Beyond the fairways

Teams often add Rose Hall Great House tours, catamaran sails, or beach afternoons to round out the trip, taking advantage of the resort‑rich north coast. Montego Bay’s dining scene and live music options complement the tournament’s group functions.

Verifying 2025 essentials

Official channels confirm the 2025 window of November 19–23, the Half Moon host hotel, and the Montego Bay course triad that defines the event. Prospective teams should use the tournament and host‑hotel pages for final package details, shuttle timings, and any updates to the course rotation.
