Mid Ocean Golf Club
Once you experience Mid Ocean Club, you'll have no argument with experts who rank it among the top links of the world. Be sure you experience the thrill of playing on a world renowned course. Awesome in its beauty, Mid Ocean Club administers the classic test - good shots are rewarded, bad shots are penalized. The course's 6.512 yards heighten the long game - six par 4s exceeds 400 yards; there's even a 238 yard par 3. Nonetheless, a card full of double and triple bogeys pales in comparison to the superb views of the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Win or lose, the lasting enjoyment is to say, "I played Mid Ocean".
