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

Golfer Reviews
Island Golf
a course that is part of the PGA circuit, nice to play where Rory stated for two weeks and the PGA was held I think for several years
Coming In by cab up the entrance to the pro shop ,playing.g the front nine,friendliness of the staff was a once in a lifetime experience
Very impressed with entire experience played front nine and course on great shape despite lack of rain
Great Course in Bermuda
It poured the day of play so they gave us a rain check- no problem. When we played the course was in beautiful shape. Very interesting design and breathtaking views of Bermuda to boot. We were told Tucker's Point was much better than Port Royal and this was not true. Port Royal was worth the money and far superior.
A Royal Good Time
While on a cruise to Bermuda we set up this 1/2 day round & it was well worth it. Fabulous scenery with some challenging holes.
Best Course in Bermuda
Play Port Royal every time I am in Bermuda. Great great course. This round we encountered heavy winds, and on the 9th the wind actually pushed the ball off the green when I putted. Hard conditions. But its Bermuda and its beautiful and no one cares what my score was. Seriously, if your looking to play an awesome island course this is the best.
A must play in Bermuda
Back 9 is outstanding. The course is second only to Tucker's Point in Bermuda. Solely because every hole at Tucker's Point is outstanding.
Great Course With Spectacular Views
Port Royal is at the top of the golf experiences of my lifetime. Every minute was great. The course has no trees. There are a few wide fairways. It is very hilly – use a cart. There are a few less wide fairways with water and very strategically placed bunkers. There are some narrow fairways with bunkers. You will have uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. The rough is not long but it swallows golf balls and they are never to be seen again. There are some holes that play uphill and seem very long. It is a good challenge with many spectacular views. We were a foursome and easily played in under 4 hours while sharing a lot of conversation. Everyone at Port Royal starting from bag drop and the pro shop through to the apres round drink at the restaurant gave us that great and personalized treatment that makes you want to come back soon.
Instant favorite!!!
I've played golf now for about 27 years and played well over 150 during those years. I have played on some spectacular course through the years, but never anything quite like Port Royal. The condition of the course was PERFECT, the greens ran true and fast, tee boxes, fairways and sand bunkers all professional- like. After getting on the eighth green, a par five, the view was absolutely breathtaking! This was the hole were Port Royal became my ALL TIME FAVORITE COURSE - INSTANTANEOUSLY - HANDS DOWN!!! The back nine is just something you must experience one time before you die or give-up the game for good. Also, getting the Hot Deal from GolfNow.com for just about half price was a deal that I think was a STEAL!!! Also, DO NOT forget to bring a camera or you will be sorry!!!
Amazing
this course is amazing. Amazing views, great condition, just an amazing course to play St. I highly recommend it. The staff and service is just as good, having full service up the long uphill road and back down. First class service on this course.
Great Golf Great Bermuda Service!
Great Golf Great Bermuda Service! The facilities are not above average but the golf course is one of the best
Beautiful views with great course conditions
My husband and I played on Sept. 26th, 2014 at 12:20 PM and we enjoyed ourselves. The only gripe I have is that there are no rangers enforcing proper golf etiquette. We had a group two in front of us that were playing from the black tees when they clearly should have moved up to blue or white. At one point, there were 6 of us (3 pairs of 2) at one whole.
Perfect Shape
Course is being groomed for the upcoming PGA Slam Tournament. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Staff was very friendly, although a beverage cart would've been welcome with a dew point reaching 75 degrees.
Excellent course
Course was in great shape! Very challenging but fair. Well trapped. More than average elevated greens and challenging winds off the ocean. Extremely scenic! The staff from the manager to the greens keepers were friendly and helpful like most all Bermudians. A great golf experience !
Scenic and Challenging
Spectacular vistas, wonderful design incorporating views of the Atlantic on most holes from 7 on. Typical RTJones-Rulewich design with a few too many elevated, bunkered greens requiring soft, high approaches. Important to play forward if not a lengthy driver. But a number of wonderful, strategic holes as well. 15 is one of the finest, most beautiful par fours I've played--no doubt overshadowed by the signature par 3 16th.
Scenic and Beautiful
Playing on this tough, wirery bermuda grass cost me 5-6 stokes so it was a learning experience. woul play PR again...its worth the money. som touh=gh holes especially the par 3 16th... dibolical. provides several breathtaking views og the sea. great styling. the bunkers are death . mant 8-9 feet deep with chuncky sand. For the money the best on the island.
Amazing
A whole new experience. The actual golf game is secondary to the beauty of the vistas and ocean views. Only complaint is that I am out the Golf Now booking fees for two threesomes because I got a walk up rate of $75 including cart which was better than the Golf Now rate of $88 plus $8 booking fee .
Beautiful course but it rained
Course was in great shape due to the amount of rain Bermuda had in the previous weeks. It rained the day we played so we only got in 9 holes. Too bad because most of the holes along the ocean are on the back nine. The staff was very helpful and friendly. First hole is kind of funky. Other than that great course.
Good looking course and challenging
Pace of play was extremely slow and quite disruptive to the flow of the game. Staff should have addressed thirst failed to do so. This resulted in a poor feeling of playing a great golf course.
