Half Moon Golf Club is considered by many as the Augusta of the Caribbean and was designed by world-renowned golf architect, Robert Trent Jones, Senior. A number of PGA tournaments have been held at Half Moon, including the European PGA Senior Tour and the Jamaica Open, since 2007.

Originally opening in 1962, the course was later modernized by Roger Rulewich, who removed non-native trees, expanded several greens, and renovated bunkers, creating a masterpiece of sheer beauty and game-raising challenges. Routed through a retired sugarcane estate, the course hugs the bottom of the hills overlooking Half Moon.

The course is a classic bow-tie layout with multiple sets of tees, well-bunkered greens -contoured to accommodate surface drainage, and an overall length ranging from 5,035 to 7,120 yards. A beautiful walking course, this 18-hole par-72 championship course tests scratch and novice golfers alike with similar from appropriate distances

Constant trade winds blowing off the Caribbean Sea create up-wind challenges and down-wind opportunities that test golfers of all levels of ability with a wealth of course knowledge and experience available from the caddies

Half Moon Golf Club withstands the test of time, remaining true to its origins in length and intent, permitting golfers to chase par and history between the palms at Half Moon. Just four minutes away from our golf course are the White Witch and Cinnamon Hill golf courses, making Half Moon a golf destination.
