Golf in Bermuda - Bermuda Golf Courses

Bermuda Golf Courses inevitably features tiny, elevated greens are often guarded by sand traps placed with glee by architects such as Robert Trent Jones to punish even the slightest wayward shot. Greens and tee provide spectacular views of the ocean, rock shorelines, and pristine pink, sandy beaches. Irrigation on these often spectacular courses is limited, which means that the greens and fairways are always firmer and faster than those found elsewhere around the world. Finally, as you may well imagine, water plays a huge part in the layout of almost all of Bermuda’s golf courses. Windswept cliff tops, steep ocean drop-offs, and breathtaking views are the highlights of play everywhere.

Would you believe that Bermuda has more golf courses than it does fast food restaurants? That’s what they claim. And, to tell the truth, it’s something I had never really thought about but, you know, I think it might well be true. There are almost no fast food restaurants on Bermuda that I can think of, and that includes the City of Hamilton. If it is true, then that fact alone makes Bermuda a very extraordinary destination – golf or not. What is true is that Bermuda, with nine golf courses, has the highest concentration of golfing opportunities per square mile in the world.

Bermuda’s golf courses seem to have distinct personalities all their own. Many of them are in remote locations where an unpredictable wind blows constantly in off the Atlantic Ocean making even the seemingly simplest club selection nothing less than a lottery.

Golf in Bermuda is always a pleasure. There’s no rising before dawn to stand in line; rarely will you have long to wait on any tee. You’ll play a game at your own pace; other players do not try to rush you from behind. You’ll have all the time in the world to contemplate that 40-foot put. And there are no distractions, save for the occasional song of an exotic bird.

If you stay for a week, you can play a different course every day and still have one left over. Many hotels offer special golf packages, and all stand ready to help you plan the rest of your stay around your golfing needs. Check here for Bermuda Golf Tips and Etiquette

Golf can be enjoyed year-round, but there’s something about the warm breezes of the early summer months that make the greens the most challenging, and the fairways the fairest.
