Although Belmont Hills Golf Club (formerly known as the Belmont Golf and Country Club.) opened in 1923, it has not always been the same course as it stands today. The original layout was largely featureless and so it was decided to completely redesign the golf course in 2002. The renovation was the most extensive golf course rebuilding project in the Bahamas. The new design includes fast, multi-tiered greens, tight fairways, and plenty of strategic bunkering. On the back nine there is a million-gallon lake that provides challenging water hazards. The changes made Belmont Hills Golf Club more exciting with a layout that favors accuracy over strength. The course also offers scenic views of Hamilton Harbor and the Great Sound.

Walked

I'm a member, but purchased a round for my son. It's a good course for all skill levels, but it desperately needs watering. Everything is very dry at this time, so it's hard to find grass to place your ball on. All of the grass is very yellow and dry.

A bit narrow

This is a fun, picturesque course, but be forewarned , it has many narrow fairways.
Undulating greens are a fun challeng. Bring your A game but B,C, and D players will have a great time.

Short, quirky as all get-out and picturesque

Belmont Hills is one of Bermuda's five 18-hole layouts. Of the four that play to a par of 70 or more (i.e. excluding Turtle Hill, the 18-hole par-3 layout at the Fairmont Southampton) it is the shortest and most idiosyncratic on the island. The scorecard lists the yardage at 6,100 yards, but don't be fooled - many back tee yardages don't exist, and the course plays more like 5,700 yards. With small greens and some significant elevation changes, though, it has its challenges - the terrifying tee shot on the second hole needs to be seen to be believed. And its charms, too, especially in the form of some splendid views of the Great Sound from the tee of the drop-shot par-3 17th.

Great Course

This course was in good shape and the staff was extremely friendly. Only issue was that the course was cart path only. This wasn't a huge issue as some of the fairways are very narrow, but it can cause issues for some of the longer holes. Pace of play was excellent andif you are able to get one of the hot deals on golfnow you cannot beat the value.

Must Play

Challenging course with small greens. Must play for accuracy and ball placement. Greens are in good shape. Not much water but still a challenging and fun to play course. Every time I go to Bermuda I will make sure I play Belmont Hills.

Nice little course at a nice little price

Belmont Hills is a very playable track. My wife (36 handicapper) and I (9 handicapper) both enjoyed it. I think it helped that we were paired with somebody who knew the course a little bit. If you want a break from the expensive courses (Mid Ocean, Tucker's Point, Port Royal), this works. Like all of the Bermuda courses, there were beautiful ocean views. Restaurant was closed or being refurbished, but maybe that's because it was December.

Great Value in Bermuda

Really friendly and helpful staff. Drove out with the cart to load the clubs. Got us lots of ice for our water and sodas. Great course for all and a great opportunity to golf a longer course.

They are renovating the snack bar and I look forward to this. We usually stop for a snack after 9 holes, but it was closed.....:( Looked like they were going to open later.

Very average

Pro shop under construction/renovation. Got out on course right away great staff. Really slow round but we were a twosome. Conditions average at best aerated greens. Somewhat tight fairways quite hilly not as many nice views as expected. Port Royal a much better choice even at double the cost.

Great course, and had it all to ourselves!

Played it twice this week and hardly saw anyone over 36 holes. Less than $100 for a round, cart and clubs. Staff were very helpful and the course was in great shape. Only comment on all the courses we have played in Bermuda... Stay out of the sand bunkers. They are rock hard like hitting off cement. They need to turn them over and add more to make them playable.

Sporty Course with some Diabolical Pin Placements

A short course that I would classify as sporty. I used my 5-wood off the tees and that was sufficient. Interesting layout with some wild pin placements on some holes. It was the most fun we've had on a golf course and took tons of pictures. Course was in great shape, except the green had been treated and had grooves on them.

Shot placement course

Since course is of average distance, need to be accurate with shots. Hilly so had to adjust to awkward stances over ball. Greens were slow and bumpy. Course was in reasonable condition for late December. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy access to course by bus.

good golf day

I like the convenience golfnow provides me. Just show up a play, no need to bring cards or cash. Maybe cash for snacks and drinks. Belmont is a good golf course to test your iron play.

Belmont

Enjoyed the course but seemed kind of short. Still some good challenging holes in spite of this. Staff friendly and helpful. Got behind some slow players toward the end of the round so a ranger would've helped a bit. No beverage cart available on an extremely hot/humid day.

It's in Bermuda

Playing in Bermuda helps but the course was in great shape and although some holes were tight for this 18 handicapper the views were wonderful, the course layout was nice and with nine courses on little Bermuda it was not crowded. Also with rain on our scheduled date they were very accommodative for play the next day. I would play it again

Good course for average players, beginners

Belmont is a course of moderate difficulty, fairly short and tight off of many tees; but still a much better option in Bermuda for 18+ handicappers who shouldn't be playing Mid-Ocean or Port Royal. We paid $90 for 18, including cart, not bad but not great value either. Nice view of the harbour on 17 tee. Staff is superb.
