Half Moon sits on Jamaica’s north coast, around 15 minutes from Montego Bay Airport, making it one of the easier long-haul golf resorts for UK travellers to reach. The property itself spreads across a huge beachfront estate with tropical gardens, private villas, low-rise suites, and a relaxed but polished feel throughout.

Golf centres around the Half Moon Golf Course, originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and later modernised by Roger Rulewich. It’s a parkland-style layout rather than a dramatic coastal course, with wide fairways, water hazards, and mature trees shaping many of the holes. At just over 7,100 yards from the back tees, it can challenge stronger players, but multiple tee positions keep it playable for most golfers. The closing stretch is particularly enjoyable, with several risk-and-reward holes and water coming into play late in the round.

Away from the course, the resort has plenty going on. There are multiple restaurants ranging from casual beachfront dining to more formal Caribbean and international options, plus pools, a spa, tennis courts, and direct beach access. Montego Bay’s bars, shopping, and marina are nearby if you want to explore outside the resort.
