Sandals Ochi
Ocho Rios
Sandals Ochi is a lively adults-only, all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios, ideal for UK golfers who want a Caribbean holiday with golf included rather than a full-on multi-course tour. Set on Jamaica’s north coast, the resort gives you a mix of beach, pools, restaurants, bars, watersports and a relaxed tropical setting, with golf available nearby at Sandals Golf & Country Club. Sandals lists green fees as included for guests, which makes it easy to add a few rounds into a sunshine escape.
The golf is played at Upton Estate Golf & Country Club, an 18-hole course in the hills above Ocho Rios. The course rises around 700 feet above sea level, with rolling fairways, sea views, mountain scenery, a practice range, putting and chipping greens, pro shop and clubhouse facilities. It is scenic, warm and enjoyable, but still asks for accuracy, especially with elevation changes and smaller greens.
For UK travellers, Sandals Ochi works best as a romantic or couples-focused golf holiday where the golf adds to the trip rather than dominating it. Most guests arrive through Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport, with Ian Fleming International Airport offering a shorter transfer option where flights allow.
Away from the course, Ocho Rios adds waterfalls, beaches, boat trips, local food and a proper Jamaican holiday feel. For a Caribbean golf break with all-inclusive ease, tropical scenery and a few relaxed rounds, Sandals Ochi is a very appealing Jamaica option.

About The Area
Ocho Rios is a fantastic choice for golfers who want a Jamaica golf holiday with tropical scenery, resort comfort and plenty of island adventure away from the fairways. Set on Jamaica’s north coast, it is known for beaches, waterfalls, rainforest, local food and easy access to some of the island’s best-loved attractions.
The main golfing highlight is Sandals Golf & Country Club, also known as Upton Estate Golf & Country Club. Set in the lush hills above Ocho Rios, the 18-hole course rises around 700 feet above sea level and offers sweeping views of the sea and mountains. It has a practice range, putting and chipping greens, pro shop, restaurant and snack facilities, making it a handy resort-style option for a relaxed Caribbean golf break.
The course itself is not overly long, but it still asks good questions. Independent course information describes it as a par-71 layout of around 6,311 yards, with narrow fairways, small drop-off greens and an undulating landscape, so accuracy matters more than simply hitting it miles.
Away from golf, Ocho Rios has loads to offer. Dunn’s River Falls and the Blue Hole are two of the area’s best-known natural attractions, with waterfall climbing, swimming, rope swings and rainforest scenery all within easy reach.
For UK golfers, Ocho Rios works beautifully as a tailor-made Jamaica golf holiday, especially for couples or groups who want golf, beaches, waterfalls and all-inclusive resort ease in one trip. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right resort, tee times, transfers and island experiences.
