A friend and I just played Negril Hills four mornings in a row (Sat - Tue) while our wives relaxed on that amazing Bloody Bay beach. I had played the course several times before, but it had been a few years. This is not a refined course, but the price is reasonable and it's fun. The course has improved somewhat from how I remember it. The sand traps are still an adventure, but the fairways and green have improved from our last time at this course. We enjoyed our golf a great deal. To address some of the questions here:

We played every morning at like 8:30 and while it was hot (it's July!) it was not uncomfortable.

We took a cart every day (we walked 18 a few years ago and it's not really a walking course for me)

Our caddy was Shern Stewart. We requested him every day and really enjoyed our time with him. He is good at his job, reliable, and personable. A very nice young man with a wife and 4 year old daughter at home. We highly recommend him! If you do use him please tell him Roy and Robert said "Hi and Thanks again for a great week of golf!"

Our greens fees were part of our package at Couples Negril so I am not exactly sure what the greens fee would have been this week, but we spent $31.50 each to play 18 holes each day. This covered the split cart fee and the caddie fee. *** Remember that the caddies make most of their limited $ from tips and what you pay in the clubhouse does not include the tip! Be as generous as you are comfortble with. Most caddies get one round a day, if that. Also remember that when you buy a drink from the beverage cart to get something for your caddy too!

Rental Clubs:
We took our clubs since we are going to play several times. Rentals looked okay and rental prices ranged from $18 to $40 for 18 holes depending on which clubs you used. The $18 ones looked usable but a little rough, the higher priced ones were very nice. The one warning I would give about the rentals is that if you want a stiff or extra stiff shaft there are not a lot of those.

We like the course and the people there and look forward to playing it a few times when next we are in Negril.
