Golf

Bermuda is bursting at the seams with golf courses - eight in just 22-square miles.  In fact, we have more golf courses per square mile than any place on the planet. From an enticing par-3 executive course to a championship-level course given the seal of approval by the PGA of America - Bermuda is undoubtedly a golfer's paradise.  Our courses vary substantially in level of difficulty and length, but every one of them is painted on a canvas that is breathtakingly beautiful.  If golf is in your vacation plans, be sure to toss a camera in your golf bag.

Additionally, there is a mini golf course for young families and a sprawling golf academy for those looking to brush up on their skills. Tennis, squash and even a pickup game of croquet are fun options for the competitive-minded Bermuda visitor.
