Port Royal Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Located on the shorefront of Southampton Parish, the Port Royal Golf Course is one of the most frequented public golf courses in Bermuda and it is even known as being one of Jack Nicklaus' favorites. Robert Trent Jones designed this 18-hole course, which hosts the Bermuda Open Championship every year. Doglegs and wind are just some of the factors that will challenge golfers on this course. The signature hole is the scenic and rather infamous 16th, situated precariously atop craggy cliffs that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. The hole requires a nearly perfect shot in order to reach the green. Port Royal Golf Course has garnered such a following that some golfers reserve starting time a year in advance.

The par-4 15th is perhaps the hardest hole at Port Royal, but the view is splendid. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 10/27/2017

Lives up to the hype!
This was the first time to Port Royal. I was there just after the Bermuda Championship, so the course was still in fantastic shape. From the bag drop, to the after round meal, to watching the sunset from the lawn of the clubhouse, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff was courteous, attentive, and full of knowledge. The stories they told while I waited for my tee time gave me an understanding why they love where they work. The beautiful views of the ocean were a bonus. I can’t wait to return!
Spectacular!
We played 8/2019. Condition, challenge and the ocean holes are spectacular! Staff during pregame talked us through the holes and what to expect. We are 15 handicap players and did fine though it is a very challenging course. The best course we have ever played!
Great test of golf at Port Royal GC
Played the course with a friend. The course was in superb condition from tee boxes, fairways and the greens. Friendly and professional staff in both pro shop and the bar and restaurant areas. In my opinion the best golf course in Bermuda. Well worth a visit for a challenging but fun round of golf.
Beautifule views. Very challenging fairways, always hitting on a slope.. Well manintained bunkers and greens, Cart and clubs were not in the best shape.
Hi, kwashin3. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Port Royal Golf Course!
