Bermuda was one of the world's first tourism destinations, and golfers have been flocking to this south Atlantic island since the 1920s to play Bermuda's selection of beautiful and challenging golf courses.
The members-only Mid-Ocean Club is one of the oldest golf courses in the region, opened in 1921. The championship 18-hole course in Tucker's Town can only be played by invitation or by members or their guests, but hotels owned by club members also may be able to get you a tee time on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. Remember, if you're going to wear shorts to play, they must be modest "Bermuda-length"!
This public course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. with perhaps the most famous hole in Bermuda: the par-3 16th where the water hazard is the Atlantic ocean (don't bother trying to retrieve your ball). That's just one of many challenges on this scenic par-71 course.
This recently redesigned course is acclaimed not only for its great resort course but also the fine dining to be had after a day on the links. Available to members and resort guests only, the course runs along Castle Harbour and Harrington Sound.
The oldest golf course in Bermuda has stood the test of time and remains one of the island's best. The 18-hole, par-70 course is beautiful but no mere looker: the course is laid out on a peninsula that's no wider than 600 yards at its fattest point. Visitors are welcome to play at this private club.
