The dramatic elevation changes are one of the most interesting features of Fairmont Turtle Hill Golf Club. Golfers are quickly introduced to the rolling landscape with a 200-foot drop off on the first two holes. There are plenty of other challenges as well, including two water hazards and numerous strategically placed bunkers. In combination with the strong Atlantic winds, this golf course has occasionally forced golfers to use every club in their bag. Three sets of tees, most elevated, provide golfing options for golfers of all skill levels. Fairmont Turtle Hill Golf Club offers excellent practice for some of Bermuda's longer courses.

Formerly known as Fairmont Southampton Golf Club.

A solid workout for your irons

Turtle Hill was actually the first 18-hole par-3 course I've ever played, and I consider it a strong introduction to that particular golf course genre. On "big" courses, par threes can add a great deal of variety and personality to the experience. Due to a relatively small land footprint, Turtle Hill takes that notion quite far. Holes like the long, uphill 4th and the tricky 17th standout for their architectural merit, and many other tests drop a couple stories or more from tee to green, giving the golfer beautiful southerly views and extra hangtime on his or her shots. The stately Fairmont Southampton lords over the course and is visible throughout the round.

Amazing little course

The greens on this course may have been the best I have ever played on. I have played each of the courses on the island and the greens on this course were far superior. Staff was extremely friendly and allowed us to go out early. Pace of play was excellent. Would highly recommend as a warm up course or if you are short on time. The round took around 2-2.5 hours.

Interesting Par 3 Course

ELEVATION CHANGES made for a tough walk, but for interesting shots. The first two holes are big downhill making club choices difficult. You're hitting approach shots off of tees, so it was not that challenging for me (9 handicapper). My wife played some of the holes from the back tees so it seemed more like a real course and she enjoyed everything except pushing the cart up 8 and 9; the back nine is much flatter than the front. This was a fun little course that gives you an opportunity to get used to the Bermuda wind before playing the big $$$ courses. The views are almost on par with Mid Ocean and Port Royal. We played at the $45 twilight walking rate, otherwise the course would be overpriced. It claims to be ranked among the top-5 par 3 courses in the world.

Incredible views and challenging golf

It's no reason this course is the host of the Grey Goose Par 3 World Championship. The course is fabulously maintained and it is a very challenging course with significant elevation changes, a few sloping greens, and a couple of imposing water hazards! Having said that, I played with my father who isn't a golfer and was visiting the island and he had a great time. The rough is very forgiving. The views are just to die for and the 18th tee allows you to see both sides of the island. Turn up after 3pm to get the sunset discount and walk to get it even cheaper. Drinks and towels included in the price of the cart are a great touch.

Beautiful Views

Since we were only in port for 24 hrs this course fit in perfect into our available time. The course was in great shape and the views of the surrounding area were awesome. The course was challenging but fair. The greens were slower than what we are used to at home and had hidden breaks. The rental clubs were fine. I would recommend playing.

Super golf course

This course was breathtaking with its views. The conditions were perfect, the rough wasn't punishing, and overall a simply great course!

I have to say though that the greens were very SLOW!

I would definitely play it again!

Great course

Great course, friendly staff, challenging par 3.

Being early March the weather was unpredictable, I played two rounds on 2 separate days. The 1st day went off without a hitch, the second day 30 MPH winds and rain delayed my tee time by 2 hours. I was able to rescehedule with no problem. I highly reccomend Turtle Hill!

Almost what I Expected.

Turtle Hill is a beautiful Par 3 track that gives nice views of the ocean and some challenging terrain and greens. My Dad and I were on Bermuda for 2 1/2 days and decided to play TH as a warm-up for Port Royal the next day. The condition of the greens could have been better, but since a tropical storm had come through the week before, They were okay. There were several scenic and tough holes throughout the course and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the island looking for a quick challenge. Rounds average 2-2.5 hrs.

Great Par Three

This was my third time playing Turtle Hill. It is one of the best par three courses that I have played in forty years. The distances are varied and not boring. There are many hazards and serious elevation changes. The course was in pristine condition, with greens that rolled true. After the round, my wife and I went down the hill to the beach called Horseshoe Bay. It does not get any better than this!!!

great scenic challenging par 3

This is a gem in the crown of Bermuda golf courses.
This course is an excellent course for beginners and low handicappers,It will quickly identify your weaknesses whether it be your Iron play or short game.
The course is very picturesque with most of the holes overlooking the Atlantic ocean.
The course winds its way through hills and valleys with the Fairmont Southampton Princess overlooking the course.
This course is a very fine par 3 course.

Great par three

This course is a challenging layout so do not be dismayed by the fact it is a par three. The holes vary in length with some over 200 yds. Water and sand come into play so accuracy is rewarded. The greens are plush but very, very slow. This would be my only negative.

Turtle Hill

I selected this course because my colleague was a relatively new golfer. The course was in great shape and it was more difficult than the distance chart indicated. It is a fun course that you can easily finish in 3 hours before the heat of the day.

Fun golf experience in Bermuda

My wife and I played 18 at Turtle Hill as a warm up before taking on Port Royal later in the week. We had a blast on this challenging par 3 course. Your driver will stay in the bag the entire round but this will be a great test of your shotmaking skills.i wish the rental clubs had included another wedge or two but that's my only small complaint. Staff does an incredible job maintaining this beautiful course.

Good intro to Bermuda golf

Very nice track, especially suited for arrival day in Bermuda. Easy to complete round in under 2 1/2hrs. Not without its challenges, but serves as a good warm -up for Port Royal or one of the other full length courses on the island.
