Golf is a sport played by millions of men, women, and children. And the fantastic golfing in Negril, Jamaica offers them a chance to enjoy their favourite sport in paradise.

For some people, golf is more of a leisurely pastime while for others it is a fierce form of competition. No matter how well a person plays, spending time on a golf course in Negril Jamaica is the ultimate experience. After all, the surrounding landscape is breathtakingly beautiful.

In addition to the immaculate course and beautiful vegetation, people can clearly see ocean beaches and waters in the distance. Keep in mind that there are numerous golf courses located throughout Jamaica but specific to Negril, the Negril Hills Golf Club has quickly gained a solid reputation for being one of the best. This entire course is nestled in the midst of lush vegetation found only in the Caribbean but other unique features of this course include several challenging water hazards and sand traps, as well as the raised tees and greens.

Professionally designed by Robert Simmons in 1994, this particular golf course is known for being tough but also incredibly enjoyable. The Negril Hills Golf Club is designed with 18 holes that stretch over 6,333 gorgeous yards. This is also a par 72 course with both a putting green and driving range for people who want to get in some practice time.

Now, golfers with low handicaps might appreciate a different course but for the most part, the Negril Hills Golf Club is a good, all-around place to golf. Although commonly used by people with experience, anyone is welcomed. In fact, it is common for novice golfers to visit the club just to practice putting or driving opposed to actually playing a partial or full round of golf.

Guests can always use their own golf clubs or if preferred, rent or purchase clubs from the state-of-the-art pro shop. There is also a modern clubhouse for relaxing after a round of golf and a first-class restaurant on-site that serves authentic Jamaican cuisine. If one or more members of a group do not golf, Negril Hills Golf Club also features perfectly maintained tennis courts, also with incredible views.

Being less than two miles from the heart of Negril, this golf course is extremely convenient. Many locals prefer this location but it is also popular among tourists. For added convenience there are several reputable accommodations within a short drive. For example, there is Tensing Pen, Whistling Bird, Kuyaba, Travellers Beach Resort, and the Sunset at the Palms, all within a few minutes of the golf course.
