Bermuda Golf Vacation- Why Bermuda Golf Should Be Your Next Stop

Short of a trip to historic St. Andrew's in Scotland there are few more luxurious treats for a golfer than a Bermuda golf vacation. Some people, considering the weather in Scotland, might even argue that aside from the history, Bermuda offers the more tempting golf retreat. The islands of Bermuda in the Atlantic ocean, a mere 670 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, offer ten golf courses in perhaps the most beautiful of settings.

In Bermuda golf is more than a game, it's a national interest. With three public courses owned and maintained by the government, and seven more in various private holdings, the islands have more golf courses per square mile than any other place on Earth.

Best of all these courses have been designed by some of the finest architects around. This includes the famous; Robert Trent Jones, and the Port Royal Golf Course was home to the 2009 PGA Grand Slam. However, there are several other challenging courses available.

Costs vary, ranging from $60 for an 18 hole round after prime hours at St. George's and ascend upward at private courses, many of which are by invitation only. Fortunately for serious golfers many of the better hotels maintain limited numbers of private guest memberships that can be offered to customers. The dress codes are comparatively strict: shirts with collars and sleeves, shorts no shorter than Bermuda-length. A Bermuda golf vacation, while not a minor expense, is within reach for most serious golfers.

When you first get to your Bermuda golf vacation and set foot on the #1 tee box, there is going to be high level challenges waiting for you. Most of the first timers get sucked into the views and taking pictures during their round. So if you don't end up with a good score don't worry, because chances are your mind was more on the surrounding beauty. Bermuda golf is unbelievable, but you have to experience to understand the quality you're getting.

The area is a British holding, which means the culture and the language is much of the same. Add in all the other activities for those not interested in golf and you have something to do for everyone. Whether it's spending time on the beach, looking at the ocean, heading out on the water or shopping at all the shops you definitely won't be bored.

Keep in mind that a Bermuda golf vacation offers a lot more as well. You've got access to spas, cafes, clubs, and a host of nightlife with various shows, private venues, and even educational or historical events. During the afternoons you can head over to the British colonial forts, the Bermuda botanical garden, or the Crystal Caves.

Vacationers come and go throughout the year, but the best time to visit is during the winter. A Bermuda golf vacation is all about leaving everything at home and enjoying your stay. If you live in the United States this includes the snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. After all, everyone would trade this in for beautiful weather and cool ocean breeze.

So the next time you start thinking about the winter or find yourself shivering, start planning your next Bermuda golf vacation. It won't be long before you are experiencing the enjoyment and relaxation that is attached to Bermuda golf.
