Golf
Negril Hills
Negril Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole, 120-acre, par-72 course. Located high above the white beaches of Negril in the lush green hills, this club is just 15 minutes away from The Beach Resort. The tropical greenery, elevated tees and greens, gently undulating fairways, and picturesque water hazards make this a great local track.
The wind, water, and 6,333 yards of rolling hills make for a challenging yet satisfying round. There are a couple of exceptionally tough greens but as long as you’re patient, you’ll be able to keep your irie vibe! Practice your swing as you overlook the gorgeous vistas of Negril.
Carts and a caddy are a must at this hilly track. Call (876) 957-4638 to arrange a tee time.

Cinnamon Hill
Cinnamon Hill is an 18-hole, par-72 course situated on what used to be a large sugar plantation. Jamaica's past history is still present throughout the golf course in the form of graveyards and ruins of old homes. Course designers von Hagge and Rick Baril designed Cinnamon Hill with elevations that give the sense of both coastal and tropical inland golf. At Cinnamon Hill, you’ll experience the best of Jamaica golf — the cool ocean spray on your cheeks as you putt on seaside greens and wind whistling through the pines as you tee-off on the 17th hole, 350 feet above the turquoise Caribbean sea. This is a test you will enjoy, enchanting panoramas framing your every shot.
To get the most out of this unique experience, talk to their caddies. They are listed among “The Best In The World” by Golfer magazine.
Tee times can be booked online using the link below.
