Back To News/PR Index | | Iconic Port Royal Golf Course Selects Troon as Golf Management Partner | Designed
by world-renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1970, Port Royal
underwent a significant renovation in 2009, which included a complete redesign.
With the support of the Bermuda Government and Board of Trustees, Port
Royal is one of the world’s premier daily-fee golf courses, boasting TifEagle
greens, immaculate course conditions and sweeping ocean views from nearly
every hole. Add to that its oceanfront practice facility and luxurious
clubhouse, the Port Royal experience is truly unforgettable for local residents
and visitors from around the globe. In addition, part of Troon’s remit
will be to offer their expertise in the operation of Ocean View Golf Course,
a public 9-hole facility located a short distance from Port Royal and only
a five minute drive from the City of Hamilton.
“Golf has always been a catalyst for tourism in Bermuda and Troon is excited to join the team,” noted Matt Hurley, Troon’s vice president, operations. “Through this new partnership, we plan to generate even more international recognition for Port Royal and Bermuda as one of the world’s preeminent golf destinations.” The most memorable feature of Port Royal is the signature par three 16th hole, a classic Trent Jones work of art, marrying the natural features of the land with the designer’s boundless imagination. Widely regarded as one of the greatest par threes in golf, the 16th is a 235-yard crescent-shaped masterpiece, showcasing breathtaking views of the clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. “We are delighted to welcome Troon to the island of Bermuda. The aim for this partnership is to take Bermudian golf and tourism to an even higher level, working hand in hand with the industry’s preeminent sports management organization,” commented Clement Talbot, MBE, JP Chairman, of the Board of Trustees. The island of Bermuda is known around the world for its distinctive blend of British and American culture, pink-sand beaches and incredible offering of golf courses. Bermuda has the highest concentration of golf courses per square mile in the world, with six 18-hole courses and a challenging 9-hole course covering the island’s 21 square miles, making it the ideal golf destination for all types of leisure and group getaways.
