Butterfield Bermuda Championship Scorecard
The views from the Port Royal Golf Course are absolutely amazing.
In fact, the course has been named one of Jack Nickalus’ favorite courses.
Port Royal is known for its iconic 16th hole, which sits on top of a cliff right over the Atlantic Ocean. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment in the last three holes on the back nine.
Despite the signature holes, the field will need to focus on the last three holes as they are also the most challenging on the course.
The 16th par-3 can ruin a player’s whole tournament with one wrong swing of the club. Accuracy matters, especially since the tee is perched up on a cliff. The tee shot demands a massive carry over the Atlantic Ocean.
The 17th will be a challenge because water comes into play from the left. The par 17 is only one of three par-5s on the course, measuring 507 yards.
The 18th is considered an uphill challenge. A par 4 measuring 410 yards, it adds a great finishing touch to the course.
