Profile: This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. Water comes into play on twenty-four out of the twenty-seven holes. Several world-class tournaments are held here each year. Some greens are double and triple-tiered, forcing more decisive shots to the green. The most challenging combination is the White/Gold Course, and the best hole is probably #9 on the White Course, a 471-yard, par 4. On this hole, players must hit their tee shot over a slight rise in the fairway if they hope to reach the green in two. The approach must travel a good 200 yards over water to a three-tiered putting surface. Dining: Whether you choose Bernard's Dining Room, the Director's Room, or the enchanting outdoor Veranda, you'll experience casual dining during the day. At night, you’ll be treated to delicious cuisine by candlelight in the resort-like ambiance of native woods and natural stone overlooking our beautiful golf course… Getting here: click here for a map.
