🏌️ Port Royal Golf Course — Southampton, Bermuda Par 71 • 6,828 Yards • Ocean Wind Test
Port Royal Golf Course gives the Butterfield Bermuda Championship one of the most scenic and weather-sensitive settings on the PGA TOUR calendar, with ocean wind, cliffside sightlines, exposed approaches, strategic bunkering, and late-season FedExCup Fall pressure.
Quick Course Overview
Port Royal Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones design in Southampton, Bermuda. The PGA TOUR tournament setup has been listed as a par-71 layout at 6,828 yards, but wind, elevation, coastal exposure, and the famous oceanfront 16th hole can make the course play much bigger than the scorecard.
Course Type / Conditions
