Overview
Bermuda Run is a small, incorporated town in Davie County, North Carolina, situated along the Yadkin River roughly 15 miles southwest of Winston-Salem. With a population of around 2,500, it functions primarily as a planned residential community centered on the Bermuda Run Country Club and its golf facilities.
The town is not a conventional tourist destination, but it draws visitors looking for a quiet retreat close to the Piedmont Triad metro area. Its location at the edge of the Yadkin Valley — one of North Carolina's most active wine-producing regions — makes it a practical base for wine trail exploration.
Travelers passing through or staying in the area benefit from quick access to Winston-Salem's cultural institutions, the historic town of Clemmons, and Davie County's rural landscapes. Expect a calm, suburban atmosphere rather than a bustling town center.
Getting There
By Air
The closest commercial airport is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) in Greensboro, approximately 30 miles to the east. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is roughly 75 miles to the south and offers broader flight connections. Verify current routes and schedules directly with airlines.
By Car
Bermuda Run is easily reached by car via US-158 and is close to I-40, which runs through the Piedmont Triad. A personal vehicle or rental is strongly recommended, as the town has no meaningful public transit network.
By Bus
GREENSBORO Transit and PART (Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation) serve portions of the broader region, but do not provide direct service into Bermuda Run. Check the PART website or verify locally for any connecting options from Winston-Salem.
Getting Around
A personal vehicle is essentially required to get around Bermuda Run and the surrounding Davie County area. The town's layout is spread out and pedestrian infrastructure is limited beyond the residential community itself.
Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft operate in this part of the Piedmont Triad, though availability may be less consistent than in Winston-Salem proper. If you plan to explore the Yadkin Valley wineries, designating a driver or arranging rideshare in advance is advisable.
Where to Stay
Bermuda Run does not have a large hotel inventory within the town boundaries. Visitors typically stay at properties in neighboring Clemmons, Lewisville, or Winston-Salem, where chain hotels and independent options are more readily available.
Vacation rental platforms (such as Vrbo and Airbnb) occasionally list homes within or adjacent to the Bermuda Run community, which may be suitable for groups or longer stays. Verify listings carefully for accuracy and proximity to your intended activities.
Things to See & Do
Golf
Bermuda Run Country Club anchors the community and offers golf on its courses to members and eligible guests. If you are staying at a property with access, this is the primary on-site activity. Verify guest policies and tee time availability directly with the club.
Yadkin Valley Wine Trail
Bermuda Run sits at the western edge of one of North Carolina's established American Viticultural Areas. Several family-owned wineries operate within a short drive, including operations in the Yadkinville and East Bend areas. Hours and tasting fees vary by winery — check each winery's website before visiting.
Tanglewood Park
Located nearby in Clemmons, Tanglewood Park is a Forsyth County facility offering golf, hiking trails, a swimming pool, and camping along the Yadkin River. It is one of the more versatile recreational stops in the immediate area. Verify current fees and hours on the Forsyth County Parks website.
Davie County History and Countryside
Davie County has modest historical sites and rural scenery worth a slow afternoon drive. The town of Mocksville, the county seat, has a small historic downtown a short drive west.
Food & Drink
Bermuda Run itself has a limited number of dining options, including some casual and chain restaurants along the US-158 corridor near the community entrance. The country club may offer dining to members and guests — verify locally.
For a broader dining selection, Winston-Salem is the practical choice, offering everything from casual barbecue joints to upscale restaurants. Clemmons and Lewisville, both very close, also have neighborhood restaurants and cafes worth exploring.
The Yadkin Valley wine scene adds a beverage dimension to any visit. Several local wineries offer tastings and, in some cases, food pairings or small bites. Call ahead or check individual winery websites for current offerings.
