Turtle Hill Golf Club at Fairmont Southampton

About this course
Turtle Hill Golf Club occupies an elevated site on the grounds of the Fairmont Southampton resort in Bermuda's Southampton Parish. The course was designed by Ted Robinson and opened in 1970 as an executive-length layout featuring three par-fours and fifteen par-threes across its eighteen holes. The compact routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours and ocean views, with holes playing across rolling terrain characteristic of Bermuda's coastal landscape. The course measures approximately 2,700 yards from the back tees, making it walkable and playable in under three hours. The design incorporates the island's typical Bermudagrass playing surfaces and native vegetation, with several holes offering views across the South Shore and the Atlantic Ocean. The elevated setting provides exposure to prevailing winds that can significantly affect club selection on the shorter holes. Water features and bunkers come into play on several holes despite the abbreviated yardages. As a resort amenity, Turtle Hill serves both hotel guests and local members seeking a quick round or practice opportunity. The layout functions as an alternative to Bermuda's full-length courses, offering a less time-intensive option while still presenting strategic challenges through green complexes and wind exposure. The course operates year-round in Bermuda's subtropical climate, with the Fairmont Southampton providing dining and lodging facilities adjacent to the first tee.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA) on Bermuda's eastern tip, followed by a scenic twenty-five-minute transfer west along the island's narrow coastal roads. The route traces turquoise bays and pastel-painted villages before climbing into Southampton Parish, where the landscape opens to dramatic ocean vistas and the soft pink silhouette of the Fairmont Southampton crowning the hillside. Perched atop one of Bermuda's highest points, Turtle Hill Golf Club reveals itself as a windswept ribbon of emerald fairways carved into the island's southern bluffs - an arrival that feels less like reaching a resort and more like discovering a private sanctuary suspended between sea and sky.
