In 2008, the government chose to invest nearly $16 million in this property, making these grounds some of the best-looking on the island of Bermuda. The refurbishment was headed by architect Roger Rulewich, a member of the original design team that created the course under the direction of Robert Trent Jones in the 1960s. Named one of the world’s best public courses by Golf Digest and distinguished as Bermuda’s finest course by the New York Times, play here is unparalleled. Follow local golf pro Daniel Augustus as he gives step-by-step instructions on conquering the unyielding second hole. This par 5 cup’s singular position has a landing area bunkered on two sides, where according to Augustus, heavy-hitters usually carry. For those who want to lay up, Augustus advises hitting it to the right to avoid the bunker that lies just to the left up the fairway. This should leave you with about 100 yards on very shallow green. Although the 16th may be the more famed of the 18 championship holes found here, the second is unexpectedly tough to read and worth some thought. And even though the annual PGA Grand Slam of Golf takes places here, the motto of “golf for all” is still the overriding attitude on this public course.
