Fairmont Southampton Golf Club

Fairmont Southampton Golf Club

This 18 holes, 2684 yards, par 54 golf course is part of the Fairmont Southampton Luxury hotels complex.

Spectacular views of the ocean from most part of the course makes it a special one in the island.

The kind of change in the elevation is something quite unique at the Fairmont Southampton golf course.

Another important factor here is the unpredictable Atlantic breeze.

I have stayed at the Fairmont Southampton hotel and have closely observed golf here. The drop between the first two holes itself is close to around 200 feet.

This makes the course quite challenging. Also use of carts is mandatory. The carts are included as part of the green fees.

Fairmont Southampton Golf Course was the winner of the 2002 Golf Digest, Best places to play golf. It has been designed by Theodore Robinson. There are a number of bunkers, two water hazards and three tee offerings.

The golf club would store your bag on arrival. The club also offers a practice green. For the beginners, it offers golf lessons.

Club and shoe rentals are available. There are pro shop, tennis courts and bar & restaurants as part of the Fairmont Southampton golf club complex.

A round of gold for 18 hole is $59 and for 9 holes is $49. Cart fee is $17.

Contacts:

Fairmont Southampton Hotel, South Road, Southampton Parish. While this is a private club run on membership, they usually accept visitors. But you need to book well in advance. Call 441/238 0446 for reservations. You can rent the clubs here.

From Kings Wharf Dockyard, Fairmont Southampton golf course is about 8 miles away. Buses (#7 and #8) come within a range of about half a mile. But you can't carry your own clubs if you plan to come by bus. Take a taxi otherwise.

As I had mentioned in my earlier sections, golf in Bermuda is a formal sport. So come wearing collard shirts, Bermuda type shorts and soft spiked golf shoes.
