Bermuda Golf

Stretching atop Bermuda's loftiest hilltop and sloping to its own cliff-flanked beach, this leviathan pink eyesore is the island's most complete resort, attracting families, conventioneers, and honeymooners with equal aplomb. Though built in 1972, it is reminiscent of a more formal era, from the gleaming mahogany-and-marble-filled public spaces to the region's only five-diamond AAA restaurant, The Newport Room. Facilities include dive shop, golf course, tennis courts, the island’s largest spa and health club, complimentary kids club, and astounding pools (one indoor with multiple waterfalls and hot tubs, another with waterslides). Nearly all the 593 commodious, comfy units boast splendid views. Configuration and décor are nearly identical, save for the fantastic corner rooms, which boast dual exposures and extended balconies. We also prefer the Harbor Deluxe rooms – with their continual Impressionist wash of pastel houses, manicured lawns, and riotously colored fishing boats – to their pricier Ocean Deluxe counterparts.

This classy pink clubhouse with greens overlooking the water is private, but guests of members are allowed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; ask your concierge to help you arrange a visit.

Hilly fairways full of sudden drops and pitches make up this challenging, picturesque course.

Watch out for the signature par-3 16th hole on this memorable, cliffside course. It inspired Jack Nicklaus to rate the club among the world’s top golf destinations.

Redesigned in 2003, this course is affordable compared to its neighbors. Check out the modern clubhouse and the Blu restaurant, which serves up American cuisine in a contemporary atmosphere.
