Tucker's Point Golf Course

Tucker's Point Club is Bermuda's newest luxury resort and private club. It was formerly known as the Castle Harbour Golf Club, which dated back to the 1930s. The Castle Harbour course was built by Charles Banks (on a site adjacent to the Mid Ocean Club) and it was a Bermudan favourite, possessing the most stunning opening and closing holes and blind shots aplenty. .

Gone has the old hotel and the old Banks course too. In its place a 2002 layout designed by Roger Rulewich (an architect from the Robert Trent Jones stable). The original opener is now the 17th and the original home hole, which has been changed beyond recognition, is now the 11th.

"Built from the remains of the old Castle Harbour course, Tucker's Point has languished due to the decline of the island as a resort destination." Commented Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses. "The property is too hilly and severe, with a number of blind doglegs and forced lay ups off the tee. The theft of Castle Harbour's iconic 2nd fairway for a handful of mega-mansions shows where the developers' true motives lay."
