点评:With dramatic changes in elevation, scenic views of the ocean and the accompanying sea breeze Turtle Hill was so enjoyable to play, I played it twice in the 3 days the cruise ship was in port.
At 2,684/2,593/2,230 (slope 92/91/90) the 18 hole, Par 54 Turtle Hill Golf Club course might be considered a par 3 course. With 5 holes over 180 from the blues, water hazards, elevation changes, strong coastal winds, and tight fairways one's hopes of making par are quickly challenged.
Ted Robinson design makes this challenge apparent in the opening hole with a 200 ft drop and a sea breeze. No one in either group I played with made par. The more wide open and flatter holes provide more hope of a birdie but I agree with the observation that Ted Robinson seems to have designed every hole as to make you choose the wrong club. Fortunately, while the rental clubs are good, they still make a great vacation excuse.
For beginner-intermediate level players enjoying the lush Bermuda surroundings and cart's GPS yardage system, the course seems much easier and hazards easier to avoid.
Being a hot dry July, beverages are highly recommended, but have to be purchased at the pro-shop as there was no beverage cart on the days I played. Fortunately you pass the pro-shop going from 9 to 10th hole to pick-up refills.
The friendly & helpful staff make you feel welcome and that Turtle Hill is more fun to play than anywhere else. Bonus, there is a cruise ship special available.
The Head Golf Pro Nick Noviello has a staff of that provide lessons to the residents and visitors, from beginners to pro. While I was there they introducing a new generation to golf with children's summer golf camp.
Turtle Hill is regarded as one the best par-3 golf courses in the world and I recommend it be your 1st stop when in Bermuda.
翻译:海拔高度变化剧烈,海景优美,海风徐徐,龟山高尔夫俱乐部打球非常愉快,邮轮停靠港口的三天里,我打了两次。
18 洞、标准杆 54 杆的龟山高尔夫俱乐部球场海拔为 2,684/2,593/2,230(坡度 92/91/90),可视为三杆洞球场。5 个洞距离蓝球道超过 180 米,水障碍、海拔变化、强烈的沿海风和狭窄的球道,打出标准杆的希望很快就破灭了。
泰德·罗宾逊 (Ted Robinson) 的设计让这一挑战在开球洞中显而易见,200 英尺的落差和海风。我打球的两个小组中,没有人打出标准杆。洞越宽、越平坦,小鸟球的希望就越大,但我同意这一观点,泰德·罗宾逊似乎设计的每个洞都让你选择错误的球杆。幸运的是,虽然租赁球杆很好,但它们仍然是一个很棒的度假借口。
对于初中级水平的球员来说,在享受百慕大郁郁葱葱的环境和球车的 GPS 码数系统的同时,球场似乎更容易,也更容易避免危险。
7 月天气炎热干燥,强烈建议喝饮料,但必须在专卖店购买,因为在我打球的那几天没有饮料车。幸运的是,你从第 9 洞到第 10 洞经过专卖店去取饮料。
友好而乐于助人的员工让你感到宾至如归,而且 Turtle Hill 比其他任何地方都更有趣。额外福利是,这里还有游轮特价。
高尔夫职业教练 Nick Noviello 拥有一支员工队伍,为居民和游客提供课程,从初学者到职业选手。我在那里的时候,他们通过儿童夏季高尔夫训练营向新一代人介绍高尔夫。
Turtle Hill 被认为是世界上最好的三杆洞高尔夫球场之一,我建议你来百慕大的第一站就是这里。
