All tournament rounds are being played on the
El Campeon Course.
Taking center stage in this land of year-round
sunshine are 36 holes of championship golf. Boasting rare tee-to-green
elevations of 85 feet, towering forests and sparkling, spring-fed lakes, these
spectacular courses are memorable no matter what the score.
Revered as one of Florida 's finest,
El Campeón, The Champion, was designed by George O'Neil of
Chicago in 1917 and further enhanced in 1926 by Charles E. Clarke of Troon,
Scotland. The course was ranked in the top 10 of Florida's 1,400+ courses.
