Five Forts Golf Cub, Bermuda
This course with 18 holes, 4436 yards, par 62 used to be known as St. George Golf Course, that was owned and operated by Bermuda Government. It had a pro-shop and a bar and restaurant within the club compound. The golf course was closed down for several years when the entire land area was given out for redevelopment to the Marriott group who opened the St. Regis luxury resort here in May 2021 and restored the golf course to its old glory.
This course was the last one designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. before his retirement. The course has been renamed to
Five Forts Golf Club because it is is surrounded by five historic forts. You can see the cruise ships passing by Bermuda's North shore. This is a course with picturesque settings offering scenic ocean views almost from all the holes. There is a green that overlooks the famous historic
Fort St. Catherine which is the largest fort in Bermuda and the most visited.
