Course History
Cinnamon Hill protects a rich cultural and natural environment while offering you the quintessential golf experience.
From Hank Smedley's original design in 1969 to Hagee and Baril's brilliant redesign in 2001, painstaking care has been taken to ensure that the historic sites, flora and fauna of the Rose Hall Estate are preserved for future generations. This makes your round even more unforgettable - consider:
- On the second tee, your club swings toward the Rose Hall
Great House where Annie Palmer wielded her evil powers - Close to the fourth tee-box, surrounded by exotic flowers,
is the Barrett's centuries-old burial plot, all family of English poet
Elizabeth Barrett-Browning - Winding through the course is the ancient aqueduct that was
used to grind sugar-cane in the plantation era. Take a close look at the
supporting pillars and you'll see their year of construction - 1761 - You putt on the 15th green to the sound of a gentle
waterfall, site of an exciting scene in the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die" - Occupying majestic preeminence is the Cinnamon Hill Great
House, built in the mid-18th Century by Edward Barrett (of the famed Barretts of
Wimpole Street). The property became the second home of Johnny Cash and
June Carter Cash for thirty years. - The finishing stretch of holes shows nature at her most
resplendent. From the fantastic 14th hole to the tough 18th, wild orchids, hibiscus,
flowering flame-of-the forest trees and stately palms welcome you as
birds sing to your game.
