INNISBROOK GOLF
The golf club, designed by architect Lawrence Packard, has long been regarded as one of the most celebrated golf resorts in Florida, and is consistently voted by Golf Magazine’s “Top 100 You Can Play” and in October ‘08 was awarded Golf World’s Reader’s Choice award. Golflink ranks Innisbrook as one of it’s Top 100 Courses with 4-1/2 stars.
Innisbrook has four championship courses with plenty of hilly terrain (a rarity in these flatlands!). The Copperhead course hosts the PGA tour each March. A $2 Million renovation was completed on the Islands course in 2008, and is believed by some to be tougher than Copperhead. Golf Digest reports it as “One of America’s Top 50 Courses”. Both courses have their own clubhouse, and the Highlands North and South courses share a clubhouse, each with a putting green. There are three driving ranges, three golf shops and a service staff with a can-do attitude.
