About Half Moon
Half Moon Golf Course is a championship layout at Half Moon in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the 18-hole course, which opened in 1962 and stretches to 7,120 yards from the championship tees.
- Multiple tee positions let golfers of different handicaps play from distances that suit them.
- The course uses a bowtie layout, which gives the routing a distinct shape on the map.
- A hotel is on site, so golfers can stay at the resort where they play.
- Lessons are offered at the resort, alongside a pro shop and a driving range.

When to play Half Moon
Jamaica is warm all year. Winter is the drier, more comfortable season for golf, while summers are hot and humid, so book early-morning or late-afternoon tee times when it is warmest.
