The West/South combination serves as the club’s tournament-caliber 18-hole layout, blending two distinct styles to test a wide range of golf skills. The West Nine, designed by Ed Matson, is lengthy and bold, featuring wide fairways and one of the toughest par-5s in the area—a dramatic 607-yard monster—rewarding length and strategic power. In contrast, the South Nine, created by Tommy Birdsong in 1972, highlights precision and finesse—its tight routing, abundant trees, and water hazards demand thoughtful shot placement more than sheer distance.
This combination plays as a par-72, stretching to approximately 7,001 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 72.6 and a slope of 118. It offers both challenge and beauty, showcasing native Florida landscapes, scenic foliage, and a relaxing yet competitive environment
