Great undulating greens, demanding holes, challenging drives and breathtaking vistas are all part of the award-winning, Par-72 championship course, designed by renowned course architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Well known across the Caribbean and around the world, as one of the finest luxury golf resorts worldwide, Half Moon’s Golf Course has been consistently considered as one of the top courses in the Caribbean.
Named the “Best Caribbean Golf Resort” by Caribbean World Magazine and “2009 Golf Resort of the Year (Rest of World)” by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, the Half Moon Golf Course now boasts improved features for both the avid and casual golfer. Renovated by renowned golf course architect Roger Rulewich in 2005, the course features newly-aligned, multiple tee complexes as well as repositioned fairways and greenside bunkers. Rulewich was mindful to maintain the course's integrity of respecting the natural flow of the land while modernizing the course to account for improvements made to golf equipment over the years. Crafting challenging holes incorporating interesting design to maximize the player experience, while taking care to highlight the natural beauty of the Montego Bay setting, Rulewich and Trent Jones have created one of the finest, if not the finest, golf course in Jamaica.
