Description
Steve Pike, senior writer for PGA.com, says the Mid Ocean Club ‘rightfully ranks among the world’s best’. And don’t just take his word for it. Dwight Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, George Bush and Babe Ruth have all walked the fairways of this spectacular Bermuda golf course.
The Mid Ocean Club is located in an exclusive area on the island known as Tucker’s Town. Originally designed in 1921 by Charles Blair Macdonald, it received its final touches of perfection in 1953 by architect Robert Trent Jones, bringing its yardage to a current 6,512 yards.
However, Mid Ocean Club is private and introduction by a member is required for visitors to play. However, many members own hotels, and are allowed to introduce a limited number of their guests on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays before noon.
The signature hole at Mid Ocean Club is considered the 5th; a monstrous 433 yard par 4. Club legend has it Babe Ruth was rumored to have lost a dozen balls in Mangrove Lake in his vain attempts to drive the green one afternoon.
As Steve Pike says ‘playing the exclusive Mid Ocean Club might be your finest hour as a golfer.
Lessons with resident professional Keith Pearman cost $35 for a half hour. Mid Ocean is the only Bermuda golf course with caddies. Caddy fees are $35 per bag.
Proper golf attire and soft-spiked golf shoes are mandatory.
