Gary Player Design renovated this course in 2005 to maintain Mr. Player's original concept of favoring strategy, club selection, and shot placement, and took great steps to incorporate new features that will reward rather than penalize players for the average shot. The course is routed through dense woodlands, lakes, and protected wetlands. Always kept in impeccable shape, this picturesque layout is considered one of the top and toughest courses in the area! Located over an hour northeast of Orlando and 30 minutes north of Daytona.

Every club in your bag is needed at The Grand Club's Pine Course, the longest of the four original courses at Palm Coast. Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay created a shotmaking challenge with tree-lined rolling fairways and well-trapped greens. In addition, there's water on 10 holes to add to the difficulty. Take your group back to the tips and the challenge will be all they can handle. The club, now managed by the Hampton Golf Group, underwent major renovations in 2006 and is always kept in premium condition.

The Conservatory Golf Course at Ginn Hammock Beach, a Tom Watson Signature design, offers 140 acres of dramatic elevations and undulating greens not commonly found in Florida. In fact, the Conservatory has the highest slope rating in Florida! With six tee boxes per hole, the Conservatory promises an exciting challenge for all levels of play, and when played from the back tees there is no longer course in the state. Highlighted by man-made waterfalls, babbling brooks and veneered field stone work, the Conservatory offers as much for the senses as it does for the game.

Open since December 2000, the Ginn Hammock Beach Resort's Ocean Course by Jack Nicklaus is set amidst dunes and natural landscape and features more ocean play than any other course on the state's east coast. Six holes overlook the ocean, including the incredible 468-yard, par-4 finishing hole. Birdie here (and sometimes par) will always win you a skin! Lakes, dunes, forested terrain, and five different tee options add to the challenge. No matter what part of Florida you plan on visiting, make sure you stop for at least one night at Hammock Beach to play the Ocean Course along the way. It's that good!

The Clyde Johnston design at St. Johns is one of Jacksonville's most underrated courses. Part of a master-planned Arvida community near St. Augustine, it's obvious that much thought went into the design. Perhaps the best feature is the numerous sets of tees that Johnston built. You can take it back to the gold markers at over 7200 yards or play it as short as 2400 yards from the family tees. Take it from us, St. Johns Golf and Country Club is a superior golf facility that you'll want to play over and over again.

There's never been a course like this. For the first time in history, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus have teamed together and built The King & The Bear at World Golf Village. The two golf legends have collaborated on a truly remarkable course of unparalleled beauty, challenge, and design. The course features loblolly pines and open meadows on the front nine while the natural beauty of 200-year-old live oaks with vast, shady canopies perfectly complement the back. Simply awesome!

The World Golf Village is considered the most ambitious golf project in the history of the game. The first course, The Slammer and The Squire, was designed by architect Bobby Weed and named for golf legends Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. Golfers of all levels are provided a challenge, yet five sets of tees allow the player to choose a length to meet his or her ability. If the ambiance of the World Golf Village is not enough, the service-oriented approach of the course will impress all visitors.
