The word on the course.

A Fazio layout in lagoons, saltwater marsh and maritime forest, with generous fairways, varied green complexes and one of the most consistently beautiful settings on the island. Regularly called the prettiest of the non-Ocean resort courses and a friendly round for mixed groups.

Best forSceneryForgivingVariety

Consistently praised

Marsh, lagoon and live-oak scenery throughout the routing.
Generous fairways and varied, strategic green complexes; a reliable family-friendly alternative to the harder resort courses.

Play from a tee that matches the group; six sets keep it fun for everyone.
Take the longer way around the lagoons rather than fighting the carry.
