Where to golf? Calling all golfers!

My DH and FIL want to golf at one of our ports. This is our itinerary:

21-May Cape Liberty, New Jersey 4:00 PM

22-May Cruising

23-May Kings Wharf, Bermuda 8:00 AM 4:00 PM Docked

24-May Cruising

25-May Philipsburg, St. Maarten 1:00 PM 8:00 PM Docked

26-May San Juan, Puerto Rico 7:00 AM 1:00 PM Docked

27-May Labadee, Haiti 8:00 AM 4:00 PM Docked

28-May Cruising

29-May Cruising

30-May Cape Liberty, New Jersey 7:00 AM

Any suggestions on which port to choose and where to golf? Thanks in advance!

Time wise, I think it's between St. Maarten and Bermuda. No golfing in Labadee.

I think I would shoot for St. Maarten. You will be there 7 hours versus 5 hours in San Juan. At a resort course they would probably tell you to allow 5 to 5 1/2 hours for a round. The time may be less in St. Maarten as they will be playing in the afternoon and courses tend to slow down for a few hours around the time they will want to start (heat of the day).

Bermuda has some of the best golf courses anywhere.

Bermuda is the place to play, only one course in St Maarten, Mullet Bay, and it is hit and miss as far as condition.

Has anyone played at Bermuda? Recommend any golf courses? Are there any that are in a resort where we could get a day pass to use facilities while the guys golf?

Google Bermuda Golf Courses!

I would also ask this on the Bermuda forum:

Port Royal is probably the best course they could get on in Bermuda. If they plan on bringing their own clubs they will need to take a taxi since they are not allowed on the buses (at least that was the case when last I was there). Taxi fare will probably be around $25 each way.

My husband played at Port Royal last year- gorgeous. I rode along in the cart. A little pricey but it is where the Grand Slam of golf is held in the fall.

Princess Resort South Hampton has a nice par 3 course and the resort has a shuttle to their private beach right next to horseshoe bay. I don't know if they offer day passes.

You are lucky......

Liberty has a Golf Simulator !!!!

You can golf in the middle of the ocean !

I am golfing at port royal in Bermuda in September

We played Port Royal just prior to the Grand Slam last year and had a great time. Also played the par three at Turtle Hill Southampton - great course that we played in about 2 hours. Wish we were headed there this year.

Short answer on the golf course

But which one is better than another I can't help

I just saw this funny picturing you on the dock driving balls

Sorry

We also played Turtle Hill in Bermuda. It was a quick course and reasonably priced...and we finished early enough to enjoy other activities.

I usually golf on the top deckof the Explorer. A club and ball are provided. :)

Seriously though, It is said that Bermuda has more golf courses per square mile than anywhere else. I understand that there are some excellent courses there.

Both of these are exactly what I was going to say.

We golf in almost every port on every cruise. St M has so many other things to do that it is not worth taking the chance for the hit or miss course. No idea on the day pass in Bermuda but we played Port Royal and Riddells Bay a couple of years back. Both were nice but preferred Port Royal.

Thanks so much for all the replies we will be checking these courses out!!
