About this course

Constant Spring Golf Club occupies a hillside site in the northern suburbs of Kingston, Jamaica's capital. Designed by Stanley Thompson and opened in 1920, the course represents one of the Canadian architect's early international commissions, completed during the period when he was establishing his reputation beyond North America. Thompson would go on to design several notable Caribbean courses, but Constant Spring stands as one of his first ventures into tropical golf design. The routing works across rolling terrain at the base of the Blue Mountains, incorporating natural elevation changes and the existing topography into the playing corridors. The climate and setting differ markedly from Thompson's Canadian work, with tropical vegetation, warm temperatures year-round, and seasonal rainfall patterns that influence course conditions. The layout measures modest by contemporary standards, reflecting both the era of its construction and the constraints of the hillside property. Constant Spring serves as Jamaica's oldest golf club and has functioned as the primary venue for competitive golf on the island for much of its history. The club has hosted national championships and regional amateur events, providing a home course for Jamaican golfers and visiting players throughout the Caribbean. The membership draws from Kingston's business and professional community, and the clubhouse overlooks the course and the city below. The course remains a working example of Thompson's design principles adapted to a tropical environment, offering a contrast to his better-known mountain and parkland courses in Canada.

Getting there

The gateway to Constant Spring Golf Club is Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, roughly a forty-minute drive north into the foothills that rise gently above Jamaica's bustling capital. Private aircraft often favor Tinson Pen Aerodrome, a compact facility closer to the city center that shaves precious minutes from the journey. The route climbs steadily from the coastal plain through neighborhoods that give way to cooler, greener elevations, where the air softens and the sprawl recedes - a transition that feels less like leaving Kingston than ascending into its quieter, more refined quarter. The club itself sits tucked into the Surrey hills, a discreet sanctuary where the city's hum fades beneath the rustle of tropical canopy and the distant Blue Mountains frame the horizon.
