Golf in Bermuda
Seven golf courses on roughly 21 square miles of North Atlantic island — including Port Royal, a genuinely public, government-owned PGA Tour venue with one of the most photographed par 3s in golf.
Year-round golf; spring and late autumn are the sweet spots. Hurricane season runs June–November, peaking September–October
Bermuda packs seven playable golf courses into about 21 square miles, which is the sort of arithmetic that doesn't need a superlative attached. It is also — and this trips up almost everyone — not in the Caribbean. It's a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic, roughly 640 miles off North Carolina and about a thousand miles north of the Caribbean proper, which means a January round here is a sweater-and-windshirt round rather than a shorts one.
The headline course is Port Royal, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. layout owned and run by the Bermuda Government, open to anyone who books online, and host of the PGA Tour's Butterfield Bermuda Championship. That combination — genuinely public, genuinely world-class, genuinely on the Tour schedule — is rare anywhere. Our Bermuda guide covers Port Royal in full, the other six courses and exactly how visitors get on each, and the island's transport quirk that catches golfers out: there are no rental cars, and the buses won't carry your clubs.
