• Botanical Gardens | An impressive 36-acre paradise, the Botanical Gardens brings Bermuda’s delightful flora together in one place. Highlights include a palm garden with native palmetto trees, subtropical fruit garden, and greenhouses with orchids, bromeliads, a miniature forest, an aviary and a variety of flowering houseplants.

• Scuba diving | Bermuda has the most northerly coral reef in the world, 200 square miles of untouched reef, and over 300 known shipwrecks. All of our diving is shallow — averaging 45–50 feet — so there’s plenty of “bottom time” for exploring.

GOLF COURSES
For a compact island, Bermuda is an overachiever in terms of golf. This small island surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean just may have more golf courses per square mile than any other place in the world. Ranging from a fun-to-play nine-hole layout with fantastic ocean views to classic, Golden Age golf clubs steeped in history, golf in Bermuda is pure pleasure.

Booking your golf getaway is a breeze with The Reefs. We’re always happy to provide information about Bermuda golf courses and to arrange tee times for our guests.

BELMONT HILLS GOLF CLUB
Enjoy smooth TifEagle greens and panoramic views of Hamilton Harbour and the Great Sound. Take note of the man-made lakes separated by a waterfall and an expansive 14,000 square-foot double green.

TURTLE HILL GOLF CLUB
Characterized as a championship par-3 course, this beautifully landscaped layout rewards accuracy over power on holes ranging in length from 110 to 216 yards. Three sets of tees on all 18 holes make it perfect for golfers of all skill levels.

MID OCEAN CLUB
Among the top-ranked golf courses in the world, Mid Ocean is a private member’s club. Course designer C.B. Macdonald is widely regarded as the father of golf in America, and his construction supervisor Seth Raynor, who assisted at Mid Ocean, authored a number of classic Golden Age golf courses on his own. Visitors are welcome to play the course on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

OCEAN VIEW GOLF COURSE
The name says it all about this fun 9-hole course, where views from the elevated tees just might distract you from the shot at hand. Two sets of tees make it possible to play an eighteen-hole round at one of the only truly public golf courses in Bermuda.

PORT ROYAL GOLF CLUB
The dean of mid-20th century American golf architects, Trent Jones combined rolling terrain and dramatic seaside cliffs to create the original course, Southampton Golf Club. In 2009, original design team member Robert Rulewich spearheaded a complete makeover to prepare the course, renamed Port Royal Golf Club, for the 2009/2010 PGA Grand Slam of Golf. The popular tournament now makes its home at Port Royal.

RIDDELL’S BAY GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB
Constructed on a 600-acre peninsula with water in view at nearly every turn on this short, but challenging layout, Riddell’s Bay offers enduring Golden Age charm. Course architect Emmet may not be well known, but his portfolio also includes U.S. Open host Congressional Golf Club in Bethesda, Maryland. While Riddell’s Bay is a private club, visitors are welcomed.

TUCKER’S POINT CLUB
Formerly known as Castle Harbour, the original course was designed by C.B. Macdonald/Seth Raynor disciple Charles Banks. In 2002, Roger Rulewich, former chief designer for Robert Trent Jones, enhanced the course, which features undulating fairways, many elevated tees and consistent TifEagle Bermudagrass greens.
