Bermuda Golf - The Practicalities
Dress Code:
Strict dress codes are enforced at all clubs. Shirts must have collars and sleeveless varieties are prohibited. Shorts must be Bermuda length (to the knee) and jeans and cut-offs are absolutely not allowed.
Tee-Time Reservations:
Reservations at the three government-run courses – Ocean View, Port Royal and St George’s – can be made by calling the central reservation system at 441-234 4653. Tee times at the other courses can be made through hotels or by contacting the course directly.
Three of the courses are private clubs – Mid Ocean, Riddell’s Bay and Tucker’s Point – so you’ll need either an introduction by a member or a stay at one of the many hotels that have corporate memberships and are able to introduce a limited number of their guests. Many of the cruise ships visiting Bermuda offer a round of golf as part of their shore excursion program.
Groups & Tournament Play:
Most courses will accommodate groups if the Director of Golf or golf club management is notified well in advance. Special group green fees, however, are not normally offered. If your group is playing a tournament in Bermuda, you are eligible to receive local prizes, compliments of the Bermuda Department of Tourism, provided arrangements are made in advance. The maximum group qualification is 20 players.
Golf Equipment Rentals:
Golf clubs, both left- and right-handed are available at each course. Balls at most leading stores in Bermuda cost between $15 and $60 per dozen. They are priced slightly higher in the club pro shops.
Reseeding Greens:
Reseeding is usually done between late September and early November, depending on weather conditions. Some courses go to temporary greens for a period of two to four weeks, others keep their greens in play. Check with your hotel or golf course during this period to determine what the local conditions might be.
Special Charges For Golfing Equipment On Airlines:
Airlines differ regarding policies on golf bags. Some will include them as a part of your free baggage allowance (those that still offer such a luxury), others charge a flat fee. Check with your airline before you make a reservation.
