It's not just the island's natural beauty or the fact that Bermuda has more courses per capita than anywhere in the world that make this is bucket-list spot for avid golfers and a dream venue for tournaments. It's also the island's sophisticated-but-laidback culture and appreciation of nature. Discover how Bermuda can elevate your golf event.
How Bermuda Will Make Your Golf Event Next-Level
Golf Essentials
Year-Round Play
Although it's 650 miles due east of North Carolina, the gulf stream helps create a temperate, pleasant climate in Bermuda all year long. That makes for ideal weather no matter the season. Learn more about Bermuda's weather.
Bermuda's Golf Footprint
For golfers, this island has an intriguing claim to fame: its area comprises more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world, which means golf is engrained in island life. And at just 21 square miles, you're never far from a course – and plenty of things to do, dining and nightlife and places to stay. Wherever your event, you're bound to have stunning vistas.
Challenging Courses
Whether you're planning a youth golf clinic or a major pro golf tournament, the island has the perfect course for you. Ocean breezes and cliffside cuts take up the difficulty a notch or two, while inland holes (as well as a mini golf course featuring replicas of iconic holes) make for easygoing play if that's what you're after.
Golf Event Logistics
Practice Facilities
All of the island's public golf course (and one of the two private courses) have at least one or more practice facilities. All public courses have a chipping and a putting green; all but two (Newstead Belmont Hills and Turtle Hill Golf Club at Fairmont Southampton) have a driving range. They each also have an on-site pro shop for last-minute equipment needs.
Where to Stay
Some of the island's major resorts are also home to popular courses, including Rosewood Bermuda (Tucker's Point Club), Fairmont Southampton and Newstead Belmont Hills. Wherever your group stays, they'll never be far from a course. Port Royal Golf Course is situated right next to Pompano Beach Club near the South Shore Beaches, while Ocean View Golf Course is just a short drive from City of Hamilton, home to the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club and other great hotels and resorts. See more places to stay.
Golf Leaders
Since 1950, the Bermuda Golf Association has been the island's golf governing body. The organization has a hand in organizing professional and amateur tournaments on island that have attracted golfers from across the globe. BGA is the entity responsible for rating the island's courses and managing the handicapping system used island-wide, and offers rules officiating and consulting on major golf events.
