St. George Golf Course Bermuda
You can see the cruise ships passing by Bermuda's North shore. This is a course with picturesque settings.
The 18th hole was named after Bermuda's first Governor, Richard Moore. There is a green that overlooks the historic Fort St. Catherine.
The course had been earlier completely renovated in 2006. This Bermuda Government owned golf club has a pro-shop and a bar & restaurant within the complex.
Facilities include:
Update 2010: While in the island we came to learn that this golf course, one of the most beautiful ones in the island, is closed down - at least for now. They said that there is a demolition work going on for an adjacent hotel Club Med. So this course needs to remain closed. It doesn't look like getting reopened before 2012. This course has been a long favorite of the many cruise ship visitors because of its proximity to town of St George.
Update June 2011: The St. George Golf Course has been re-opened on a temporary basis and will be maintained at a standard similar to municipal courses in the U.K. There are some hand carts available on rent.
The golfers can use the Griffin’s Bistro & Bar at the club as well as Blackbeard's Hideout next to St. Catherine Fort for refreshments. The course lay out has been changed a little. The new hole-1 will be the earlier hole-2.
Update December 2011: St. George Golf Course is now fully operational. There is a promotional offer for Tee time at a reduced rate of $30 per round. The offer is up to December 31st.
