Port Royal Golf Course Bermuda

Port Royal Golf Course

Port Royal golf course, located in Southampton Bermuda is one of most spectacular golf courses run by Bermuda Government.

This 18 holes, 6842 yards, par 71 golf course has been designed by the world renown architect Robert Trent Jones.

Robert has gone on to say that this is the best course he has ever designed in his life outside the mainland of USA.

Yes, Port Royal Golf Course lives up to it's reputation of being one of the most breathtakingly beautiful courses with oceanic settings. This is by far one of the highest rated public Bermuda Golf courses and is the most popular one. Port Royal has been host to many championship tournaments including Bermuda open.

The most famous and the challenging hole at the Port Royal is the 16th hole. The Tee and the green of this par 3 hole is right next to a coastal cliff overlooking the ocean.

Unless you are dead right with your drive, you are likely to get back a wet ball, or get nothing back at all. By the way, this hole is the most favorite of Jack Nicklaus.

Port Royal Golf Course of Bermuda has recently undergone a major renovation. I came to know that the renovation costs were to the tune of some $ 14 million. So you can imagine the extent of rework done on this 37 years old golf course.

It now has Tiff-Eagle green to make the golf course much faster and better. Tees, bunkers, fairways have all bee improved.

Even the stretch of the course has been expanded from original 6561 yards to 6842 yards. Bet there is no design changes done.

There is a pro-shop, a Bar & Restaurant called 64 Degrees, and also few tennis courts within the complex.

From Kings Wharf (Royal Naval Dockyard), Port Royal golf course is about 8 miles away. Buses come within a range of about 600 yards.

But you can't carry your own clubs if you plan to come by a public bus. Take a taxi instead.
