The tiny island of Bermuda reputedly offers
more golf courses - nine in just 21 square miles - than any other country in the
world.
 Riddells
Bay is one of Bermuda's oldest country clubs and has enticed golfers around the
world since 1922. Winding along a peninsula measuring only 600 yards at its widest,
this 5713-yard course provides a great challenge , though to play here you will
need an introduction by a member or your hotel management.

Blair Macdonald in 1921 and then modified by Robert Trent Jones in the 1950's.

Emmitt Devereaux-designed course, which measures just under 6000 yards and has
