Mid Ocean Golf Club Bermuda

 

Mid Ocean Golf Club is an 18-hole, 6512 yards, par 71 golf course.    Ranked as Bermuda's no. 1 Golf Course, Mid Ocean Golf Club is widely known as one of the best golf courses in the world.    The course was originally designed by Charles Blair MacDonald way back in 1920s and later re-architected by Robert Trent Jones. So you know what to expect.    Guess who would have played at the Mid Ocean Golf Club.

If you are visiting Bermuda and planning for golfing at this course, here are some names that can lift you to the top of the world: George Bush, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Winston Churchill have all played at the Mid Ocean golf course.    As you climb the 4th fairway, and up onto the 5th tee, the ground and course drop beneath you to reveal a stunning dog leg left par 4 that requires you to hit over a large lake.

The main hole is the 5th one - a long 433 yard par 4. I came to learn that when Babe Ruth once played at this course, he could finally clear the Mangrove lake at this 5th hole after some 11 attempts.  

 

Mid Ocean focuses mainly on long games with six par-4s over 400 yards. Accuracy and concentration are the must to play a reasonable round here. The course offers great variety with the 1st, 3rd, 17th and 18th as they border the sea and are effected by the winds. The other holes around the turn feel like a true parkland course with rolling valleys, terrific greenery and shelter from any coastal breezes. 

 

On the grounds are guest rooms, a full-service clubhouse, tennis courts and beaches.

Golf in Bermuda turns out to be fairly expensive. However, depending on the time of the year, rates vary. 

 

Check out the late afternoon (sun set) Tee time rates. That should be quite lower compared to the morning times. As I had mentioned in my earlier sections, golf in Bermuda is a formal sports. So come wearing collard shirts, Bermuda type shorts and soft spiked golf shoes.
