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 is a pro-shop and a bar & restaurant within the complex.

Other facilities include:

Golf Season: Year round

Rental clubs available

Shoes with only soft spikes allowed

Rental carts available

Tee times welcomed

Location & Contacts

The address of Riddell's Bay Golf & Country Club Bermuda is: 26 Riddel's Bay Road, Warwick 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 1060 for reservations.

If you are coming by cruise ship and docking at the Kings Wharf (Royal Naval Dockyard), Riddell's Bay Golf & Country Club is about 8 miles away. Buses come within a range of about 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.
