The Fairmont Southampton
Golf Course
Designer: Theodore Robinson
An Island gem designed to take your short game to new heights, The
Fairmont Southampton Golf Course features 18 challenging par-3 holes.
Taking advantage of the beautiful surroundings and dramatic elevation
changes, this 2,684-yard course forces prudent club selection, with
wind a definite factor.

Ocean View Golf
Course
Located in the verdant center of the Island in Devonshire Parish,
Ocean View is owned and maintained by the Government of Bermuda.
On this fully matured 9-hole course, one enjoys splendid vistas
of the Atlantic from several of the elevated tees. At 2,940 yards,
it may seem tame enough... but guess again. Its unpredictable terrain
and rambling hills remain, as you will soon discover, doggedly resistant
to low scoring.

terrain, Port Royal is a popular and challenging golf course, which
was designed by Robert Trent Jones.

Mid Ocean Golf
Club*
Once you experience Mid Ocean, you'll have no argument with experts
who rank it among the top links of the world. Cathedral-like in
its awesome beauty, Mid Ocean administers the classic test: good
shots are rewarded; bad shots are penalized. True to form Mid Ocean's
6,512 yards heighten the long game - six par 4s exceed 400 yards;
there's even a 238 yard par-3. Nonetheless, a card full of double
and triple bogeys pales in comparison to the superb views of the
mighty Atlantic. But win or lose, the lasting thrill is to say:
''I played Mid Ocean''.

St. Georges Golf
Course
This, the newest of Bermuda's Government golf courses, was designed
by Robert Trent Jones and is a par-62, 4,043-yard course. Located
at the eastern tip of the island within walking distance of the
old Town of St. George, the links range along hillsides with imposing
views of the Atlantic. Wind velocity will be an important factor
in your game. On a couple of the par-3s, for instance, you could
need anything from a nine-iron to a driver to reach the green. To
conquer this course you'll need concentration, proper club selection,
and very careful shot execution.
