Riddell's Bay Golf & Country Club
|
|
Riddell's Bay Golf & Country Club is the first 18 hole golf club in Bermuda. It opened in 1922.
They say that the first hole here, a dogleg par 4, is the most difficult one in the whole of Bermuda.
Many of the other holes are placed very close to the waters making the course a fairly challenging one.
This is a 5800 yards par 70 golf course sitting on a narrow peninsula and designed by Deveraux Emmett.

He was the same architect who designed the famous Congressional Country Club in Washington DC, USA.
You get a lovely view of the club house from the final hole. The club house was originally a farm house and a great example of Bermudian architecture. This is the only golf course in Bermuda where all the carts used are run on battery. The other courses use gas operated carts.

There are pro shop, and bar & restaurants as part of the complex.

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.
