Designed by course architects Arnold Palmer & Ed Seay, Matanzas is a very challenging course with open, rolling fairways, well-bunkered greens, and water on eight holes. This interesting layout offers a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, meandering through a variety of cypress and pine trees... virtually no homes! The signature hole is the 529-yard, par-5, 18th that features a demanding approach shot to a small "island" green.
