Golf in Bermuda turns out to be fairly expensive. Depending on the time of the year, rates vary. Check the late afternoon Tee time rates. That should be quite lower compared to the morning times. In fact when I had played here once, compared to a morning time rate of $74 for a round of 9-hole golf, the sunset rate (as they call it) was $54, both rates include carts.

Golf in Bermuda is a formal sports. So come wearing collard shirts, Bermuda type shorts or long trousers and soft spiked golf shoes. No jeans, short shorts, mini skirts, tee-shirts, jogging shorts, or sweat pants.

Visitors' Reviews & Comments

Pete Hookings (February 2013)

Watlington House was not used by the US Army during world war 2. They were stationed in the fort on the hill where the bus stations are - Fort Langston. It was filled in after the war. I lived in the house with my parents, Carl E Hookings MD during this time 1952-1955. Francis Watlington is buried in the back yard. The US Army had an artillery battery in the fort, and a signal corps unit in the field to the ENE of the house. These guys were like big brothers to my brother and me. The taught us how to play baseball, pitch horseshoes etc. We went to free movies at the two PXs they had.

The CO of the artillery unit lived in Bermuda after the war and married a Bermuda lady. I spoke to him several years ago when I was visiting Bermuda, and he remembered my family. He was elderly and blind at the time. Like you I was appalled to see the condition the house was in the last time I visited. In the late 80s when it was the clubhouse, I visited the manager whose office was upstairs in my Dad's bedroom It looked pretty much as I remembered.
