Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Southampton, Bermuda?

We find the sweet spot for golf in Southampton is late spring, April to May, or early fall, September to October. You'll enjoy comfortably warm temperatures and less humidity, perfect for those ocean-side rounds. While Bermuda offers year-round play, avoiding the peak summer heat and potential hurricane season makes for a more relaxed experience.

What unique golf experiences do the Southampton courses offer compared to other destinations?

Southampton's courses deliver a truly distinct island golf experience, blending dramatic ocean vistas with challenging topography. You'll navigate significant elevation changes and contend with the ever-present Atlantic breeze, especially at Port Royal's iconic 16th hole. Even the par-3 Turtle Hill offers a fun, precise test amidst lush tropical landscaping.

How challenging are the golf courses in Southampton for an average player?

The challenge level varies, but expect a good test of your game. Port Royal, a championship layout, can be quite demanding, especially when the wind picks up, but multiple tee boxes make it enjoyable for many handicaps. Turtle Hill, while a par-3, requires precise iron play and can surprise you with its tricky greens and elevation changes.

What should I budget for green fees and other golf-related expenses in Southampton?

Be prepared for premium pricing; golf in Bermuda is an investment, but worth every penny for the views and course quality. Green fees at Port Royal typically range from $150-$250+, and you'll likely want a cart, which adds to the cost. We always recommend booking tee times well in advance, especially during peak season, to secure your preferred slots.

After a round, what are the must-do activities or dining experiences near Southampton's golf courses?

Post-round, you absolutely must visit Horseshoe Bay Beach, just a stone's throw away, for its stunning pink sand and turquoise waters. For dining, we love grabbing a drink and a bite with ocean views at one of the resort restaurants, or heading to the nearby Swizzle Inn for a classic Bermudian rum swizzle and local fare. Don't miss the panoramic views from Gibbs Hill Lighthouse either.
