Golfing has long been one of the most loved sports for visitors who vacation on any of the many tropical islands in the Caribbean. It’s such a loved activity that many visitors rather spend hours on the golf course rather than lounging under the sun.
One of the most favorite countries to visit for this event is Jamaica.
