Bermuda is a popular golfing destination. And with its beautiful coastal views and lush greens, it's easy to see why so many avid golfers want to tee-off in such style. The Port Royal Golf Club in Bermuda is one of the world's best golf courses and located just a short drive from the bustling city of Hamilton. Conveniently, it is easy to reach from anywhere on the island.
Port Royal Golf Club
It's simple to fly to Bermuda from much of the US, and while it might be best known for its spooky triangle where many claim boats and planes have entered but never returned, it's also a great place to visit for a few rounds of golf in an exotic setting. The island is surrounded by tropical turquoise ocean and when the sun is shining, the Port Royal Golf Course has some of the best vistas for miles around.
The course is fertile and lush, and the rich green hues compliment the blues from the water and the bright cloud-free sky. Topped off with some vibrant sunshine, this golf course is fit for a king and has to rank up there with the world's very best. According to The Telegraph, Port Royal is home to a hole that is particularly notable for its postcard-perfect photo opportunity as Hole 16 features a par-three, 235-yard crescent shaped area with only the Atlantic standing between the pin and the tee.
Getting to Bermuda
Many keen golfers will fly into the US before heading to Bermuda and it is easy to book an entire holiday on a website such as http://www.carrier.co.uk/destinations/caribbean-bermuda-mexico/antigua/. From North America, flights will take around two hours and direct flights can also be taken from the East Coast states, Canada and London. Bermuda is a popular destination for cruises and has firmly established itself on many cruise ship routes making it easy to arrive by air or sea.
Other Regal-Esque Golf Courses
While The Telegraph claims Bermuda has more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else in the world, there are also other greens well worth visiting if you want to tee-off in style in more than one location. While Bermuda is not technically part of the Caribbean, it shares similar topography, landscapes, weather and cultures with many of the Caribbean islands where other stylish golf courses can be found.
Here are some of the most popular gold courses in the Caribbean that share a similar sense of elegance and style:
• The Grenadines Estate Golf Club, The Grenadines
• Green Monkey, Barbados
• Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club, The Bahamas
• Teeth of the Dog Casa De Campo, The Dominican Republic
Other worldwide destinations popular with golfers include Portugal, the US and Spain, but the sense of sophistication felt on Bermuda's greens as well as those in the Caribbean is often enhanced by the tropical backdrop that gives these courses a naturally beautiful and regal atmosphere.
