There’s more to the game of golf than just a great swing and the right clubs; a great course can improve your skills and make you a more competitive golfer. Overlooking the immaculate waters of Hamilton Harbor and the Great Sound, the course at the Belmont Hills Golf Club in Bermuda may be just the spot to test your limits.

The intricacy of the course is the result of a major redesign by architect Algie Pulley in 2003. The century-old club was renamed, and today visitors and members can enjoy an imposing 70-par, heavily bunkered, 6,100-yard playing area. Your accuracy and prowess will be tested, especially around the 8th hole, where a million-gallon man-made lake threatens to dampen your momentum.  The rolling hills leading to each of the 18 holes feature Tiff Eagle greens brimming with authentic Bermuda grass; plush tropical flora rounds out the panoramic landscape.

The golf club is located on the grounds of The Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort and Spa, with several other premier hotels nearby. Stop by the on-site pro shop for any equipment you may have left at home, or enjoy a quick lunch between rounds at the bar and grille. Best of all, you can devise a plan of attack with one of the seasoned on-staff pros during a private lesson (the club has the largest professional staff on the island). Whether it’s your first time teeing off or your thousandth, golfers of all levels will enjoy the new and improved Bermuda golf club.
