Well known across the Caribbean and around the world as one of the finest luxury golf resorts worldwide, Half Moon has gone the extra mile in designing and maintaining its course to create a golf experience unlike any other in Jamaica.

Rulewich was mindful to maintain the course’s integrity of respecting the natural flow of the land while modernizing the course to account for improvements made to golf equipment over the years. Crafting challenging holes incorporating interesting design to maximize the player experience, all while taking care to highlight the natural beauty of the Montego Bay setting, Rulewich and Trent Jones have created one of the finest, if not the finest, golf courses in Jamaica.
