Located on 315 acres of lush, tropical
landscape, this immensely playable course is magnificently sculpted to reflect
the natural beauty of its environment. It features abundant elevation changes
and picturesque lakes throughout, which are so unusual for a Sarasota golf
course.
Beautiful wetlands, colorful flowering shrubs,
informal native grass areas, marshes with aquatic plants, and mature Oak trees
enhance the natural setting, which can be easily enjoyed on foot. "This will be
a terrific walking course," says Fazio, "with very reasonable connections
between the greens and tees."
