Slope N/A

The dramatic elevation changes are one of the most interesting features of Fairmont Turtle Hill Golf Club. Golfers are quickly introduced to the rolling landscape with a 200-foot drop off on the first two holes. There are plenty of other challenges as well, including two water hazards and numerous strategically placed bunkers. In combination with the strong Atlantic winds, this golf course has occasionally forced golfers to use every club in their bag. Three sets of tees, most elevated, provide golfing options for golfers of all skill levels. Fairmont Turtle Hill Golf Club offers excellent practice for some of Bermuda's longer courses.
Formerly known as Fairmont Southampton Golf Club.

Fantastic Par 3 Course! Lots of fun!

Turtle Hill has been called one of the finest par 3 courses in the world. Well, it lived up to its billing. The holes are interesting, some very challenging and for the more experienced player, give you a great workout in terms of course management and club selection.
My only negative is the greens are a bit slow and wish they were a bit faster as well struck putts do not always get rewarded.
All in all it was a quite pleasant round and highly recommend that golfers of all abilities give it a try.

Nice mixture of holes. Extremely hilly, carts are a must. The greens were shaggy to say the least.

Quick play

My wife and I played in 2 hours. Greens need to be cut to resemble greens. These were like tees at most courses. The holes are somewhat varied and you will use most of the clubs in your bag. Very hilly, I can't see anyone walking this course unless you are an advanced hiker

Must play course!

🏝️ Course Review: Turtle Hill Golf Club, Bermuda 🏝️
I recently had the privilege of teeing off at Turtle Hill Golf Club on the breathtaking island of Bermuda. This gem is ranked among the top 5 par 3 courses globally and is the proud home of the World Par 3 Championship. Let me tell you, it lived up to its reputation!
👏 Exceptional Service: Every staff member I encountered was not just great; they were exceptional. From the moment I arrived, they wanted you to know they were excited for you to be there. The club pro went above and beyond by generously offering me his clubs when I requested XStiff shafts in the rental set. It's this level of service that makes Turtle Hill Golf Club a truly extraordinary golfing destination.
💨 Challenging Play: Despite battling tropical storm winds and rain, the course provided a wonderfully challenging experience. With its dramatic elevation changes, every hole was a unique adventure.
⛳ Pristine Greens: The greens were in impeccable condition, rolling true and pure. They were a tad slower due to the weather but still a joy to putt on.
🏌️ @wilsongolf Surprise: I initially had reservations about using the Wilson Tour Edge rental clubs. However, I was genuinely surprised by their performance. They were a great choice, and I'd recommend them, especially to newer players. I would be interested to try out some of their other products.
🌊 Cliffside Beauty: What truly sets this course apart are ocean views. The course plays on a huge hill overlooking the ocean on both sides of the island. It truly makes the round unforgettable.
Bermuda's @turtlehillgolfclub is a must-play for any golfer. The challenges, the scenery, and the warm hospitality make it an experience to remember.

This course was a great Par 3 course

We visited Bermuda via a cruise on NCL Joy. The weather during the cruise was not great. We had an 11:45 am tee time but arrived early in hopes we could get on the course early before the pending storms. The staff was wonderful and super friendly and let us start early. Finished all 18 holes before the storm. The course was lush and green with great views of the water. The gift shop was fully stocked. Would have loved to have lunch after we were done but restaurant was not open. Great par 3 course.

Thank You Lefty!

I arrived at the course to find they only had one set of left handed clubs available. They were not in the best shape nor did I recognize the brand. I had a brief conversation with the nice attendant at the front desk. I had expressed that this was not the experience I was looking for with these sub par rental clubs. Just my luck....he was a left handed golfer and offered me his personal clubs to use for the round. This made My experience Excellent! Thank you kind sir!
