NEGRIL HILLS GOLF CLUB
🇯🇲 Westmoreland, Cornwall, JM
Designed by Bob Simmons
Negril Hills Golf Club occupies elevated terrain in Westmoreland Parish along Jamaica's western coast, near the resort town of Negril. Designed by Bob Simmons and opened in the 1990s, the course was developed as part of the region's tourism expansion during that period. The layout takes advantage of the area's natural topography, with holes routed across rolling hillsides that provide views of the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding Jamaican countryside.
The course plays through a landscape characteristic of western Jamaica, with tropical vegetation and prevailing trade winds that influence play, particularly on holes with exposure to coastal breezes. The routing incorporates elevation changes that create variety in shot-making demands, and several holes offer strategic interest through the use of natural contours and hazard placement. Water features and bunkering reflect design approaches common to Caribbean resort courses of the era.
Negril Hills serves both visitors to the Negril resort area and local golfers. The facility operates within Jamaica's small golf community, where courses often balance tourism appeal with accessibility for residents. The club provides standard amenities typical of Caribbean golf properties, including practice facilities and dining options that incorporate local cuisine and hospitality traditions. The course remains one of the few golf options in western Jamaica, contributing to the region's recreational infrastructure beyond its well-known beaches and coastal attractions.
