Port Royal Golf Course
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.

Slow play
Waited 26 min for a hole - 2 holes clear, no offer to play through so we asked and skipped a hole - then got lots of attitude from “tournament players” who decided that they were far more important and slow play didn’t matter - as it was their course…
Slow play is unnecessary and kills the game!..
Simply needs someone to monitor the pace correctly!!!
