About Negril Hills Golf Club

Negril Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Westmoreland, a short distance inland from Negril. The club's official site gives a maximum length of 6,333 yards and describes gently undulating fairways together with elevated tees and greens, water hazards and tropical vegetation. Golf references date construction to 1994 and commonly credit the design to Robert 'Bob' Simmons, although a local historical account says Roy Case undertook the initial design and layout before the eventual Simmons attribution.

Published tee lengths vary slightly between older sources, so only the official 6,333-yard maximum is used as the course scalar. Visitors are accepted, with advance booking recommended by golf directories. The club's own website lists a pro shop and clubhouse, while current and archived descriptions also identify restaurant/dining facilities and a tennis court.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 5,791m (6,333 yards). Designed by Robert Simmons, the course originally opened in 1994. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Tennis Court, Golf Cart Hire, Caddies.

Origins

Negril Hills was constructed in 1994 during the growth of Negril as a major Jamaican tourism destination. A local historical account identifies Westmoreland businessman Owen 'Hurry Hurry' Sinclair as a driving figure behind the project. Most golf references credit Robert Simmons with the course, while the same local account says Roy Case completed an initial design and layout before emigrating to Florida.

That discrepancy makes the exact design authorship more nuanced than the usual single-name credit.

Design Philosophy

The routing uses naturally hilly ground rather than a flat resort site. The club describes undulating fairways and elevated tees and greens, and published descriptions identify doglegs, sloping ground, marshland and water as recurring components of the layout.

Development

Unlike Jamaica's early-20th-century clubs, Negril Hills belongs to a later generation of Jamaican golf development. Its 1994 construction provided Westmoreland and the Negril tourism area with an 18-hole course of its own.

Today

The club remains an 18-hole par-72 facility measuring 6,333 yards from its longest published tees. Visitors are accepted, and the property includes a clubhouse and pro shop, with golf carts and caddies available according to golf travel references.
